Hi Marcus, You can use "indentity transform" based stylesheet (as shown below) conveniently, for creating filters:
<!-- identity transform; copies everything --> <xsl:template match="node() | @*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" /> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
<!-- filter 1 --> <xsl:template match="*[starts-with(name(@*), 'dim1')]" />
<!-- filter 2 ; a priority is attached, otherwise filter 1 and filter 2 rules gets ambiguous --> <xsl:template match="*[@dim1_a = 'yes']" priority="3" />
Regards, Mukul
I have inherited some XML files that I need to filter. Because i have inherited the files I did not design the way the elements were tagged. But I have to write the xsl to do the filtering - and I am only just dipping my toe into xsl.
I want to output XML - that I will feed into FrameMaker for typesetting.
I want to filter on a number of dimensions.
For various hysterical reasons the various elements have been taged with attributes of the form
<element dim1_a="yes"> or <element dim1_a="yes" dim1_b="yes">
I want to create a filter that will include all elements where either:
there are no attributes starting dim1 or dim1_a="yes"
And I need to do this for several dim1 dim2 etc.
If needs be I can run a number of xsl transforms one for each dimension.
I have some other attributes = e.g. role that I need to keep.
Is this possible, or do I need to completely change the way these files are tagged.
If so can I easily do that with xsl - or do I need to do it by hand.
Thanks
Marcus
