Subject: Re: Access to RE/RS separated records within an element? From: "Mitch C. Amiano" <amiamc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 25 Jan 1999 09:47:23 -0500 |
If you want to encode that structural information into the DSSSL, you could write a function which would split the (data) on the record-ends, build a list of the resulting strings, and then return the ones you are interested in. The mulberry site (http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl) would be very helpful to you, I'm sure. If you have control over the DTD applied to your input, you could map those records to new element types, perhaps using SHORTREF, then use element matching rules to drive the output. (SHORTREF is an SGML feature, not DSSSL.)
