Subject: last of type problem From: regan@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 16:08:06 -0800 |
Hi all, I am working on a project where we are converting XML + XSL -> HTML, currently I am using XT (thanks!). I have come across an issue that I initially thought would be easy: creating a comma separated list. My problem is the items I collect for the list come from separate sections of the XML tree, and what last-of-type() tests is whether the node has following siblings in relation to it parent, not to the collection of nodes I have collected. Is there any way to do this? For example, if I have the following XML and XSL which collects a list of DEPARTMENT nodes and tries to create HTML with a comma separated list, I end up with a comma at the end of the list and no comma between 2 items in the middle: All the type A people in the company department 1: Fred, department 3: John department 4: Bill, Any suggestions? Thanks, Regan Gill regan@xxxxxxxxxxx XSL rules <xsl:template match="COMPANY"> <P>All the type A people in the company</P> <xsl:for-each select='//DEPARTMENT[TYPE="A"]'> department <xsl:apply-templates select="./SECTION"/><xsl:text>: </xsl:text> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/> <xsl:if test=".[not (last-of-type())]"><xsl:text>, </xsl:text></xsl:if> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="DEPARTMENT"> <xsl:apply-templates select="EMPLOYEE"/> </xsl:template> sample XML <COMPANY> <LOCAL> <DEPARTMENT> <TYPE>A</TYPE> <SECTION>1</SECTION> <EMPLOYEE>Fred</EMPLOYEE> </DEPARTMENT> <DEPARTMENT> <TYPE>B</TYPE> <SECTION>2</SECTION> <EMPLOYEE>Lucy</EMPLOYEE> </DEPARTMENT> <DEPARTMENT> <TYPE>A</TYPE> <SECTION>3</SECTION> <EMPLOYEE>John</EMPLOYEE> </DEPARTMENT> </LOCAL> <REMOTE> <DEPARTMENT> <TYPE>A</TYPE> <SECTION>4</SECTION> <EMPLOYEE>Bill</EMPLOYEE> </DEPARTMENT> <DEPARTMENT> <TYPE>B</TYPE> <SECTION>5</SECTION> <EMPLOYEE>Charlie</EMPLOYEE> </DEPARTMENT> </REMOTE> </COMPANY> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
