Subject: Re: [xsl] Transforming milestone tags From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Jul 2004 12:01:49 -0400 |
Cheers, Wendell
I have a source document which uses a hierarchical to markup the structure of the text of a manuscript (<div> for the big divisions and <p> for the paragraphs) and milestone tags for page breaks (<pb>) and line breaks (<lb>), which may occur in virtually any place inside the hierarchy, for example:
<doc> <pb n="1" /> <div> <p>Line A <lb/>Line B <pb n="2" /> <lb/>Line C </p> <p>Line D <lb/>Line E <lb/>Line F </p> <pb n="3" /> <p>Line G <lb/>Line H <lb/>Line I </p> </div> <div> <p>Line J <lb/>Line K <lb/>Line L </p> </div> </doc>
I would like to transform this document into a nested structure of <page> and <line> tags and markup the textual divisions as milestones:
<doc> <page n="1"> <newdiv/> <newp/> <line n="1.1">Line A</line> <line n="1.2">Line B</line> </page> <page n="2"> <line n="2.1">Line C</line> <newp/> <line n="2.2">Line D</line> <line n="2.3">Line E</line> <line n="2.4">Line F</line> </page> <page n="3"> <newp/> <line n="3.1">Line G</line> <line n="3.2">Line H</line> <line n="3.3">Line I</line> <newdiv/> <newp/> <line n="3.4">Line J</line> <line n="3.5">Line K</line> <line n="3.6">Line L</line> </page> </doc>
What is the best strategy to do this? (My main problem is to get a selection of nodes spanning between <pb> tags appearing on different levels in the hierarchy.)
