Re: [xsl] General algorithm for finding nodes between PIs

["Rick Quatro rick@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Good question, but these xml documents come from Adobe FrameMaker, which has
a "conditional text" feature. Since this feature is part of both
unstructured and structured (sgml- or xml-based) FrameMaker, it uses
processing-instructions to mark the bounds of each condition format. The
purpose of the transform is to move the information from the PIs to
attributes.

I ended up doing this inside of FrameMaker itself with its scripting tools.
But thanks to this list, I ended up learning some good techniques for doing
it with XSLT. Thanks to all for a great list.

Unrelated to the solution in this case, but from an encoding standpoint, I'm
curious to know if there was any opportunity to choose another schema/dtd
for this document or application; specifically to use one which implements a
different way to encode this kind of effectivity, perhaps using attributes
or elements.
