Re: [xsl] Filtering child text nodes by node name

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

I hope following should work:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="title">
  <topic-title><xsl:apply-templates
select="indexterm[1]/preceding-sibling::node()" /></topic-title>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()[following-sibling::indexterm[not(preceding-sibling::indexterm)]]">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="self::text()">
      <xsl:copy-of select="." />
    </xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise>
      <xsl:apply-templates />
    </xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This produces output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<topic-title>Configuring the process command
</topic-title>

With input XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<title>Configuring the <command>process</command> command
<indexterm>
  <primary>In title</primary>
  <secondary>first</secondary>
</indexterm>
<indexterm>
  <primary>In title</primary>
  <secondary>second</secondary>
</indexterm>
</title>

You could try to correct the extra newline printed at the end.
