RE: [xsl] 2 columns with special conditions

Hi,

I take a direct (non-clever) approach. This works. . .

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:transform version="2.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; >

 <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
 <xsl:template match="/allsteps">
  <tables>
   <xsl:apply-templates />
  </tables>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="steps">
  <table>
   <xsl:for-each select="mc" >
    <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="@type = 'F'" >
      <row>
       <col><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></col>
       <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="following-sibling::mc" > <!-- Not at end -->
         <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="following-sibling::mc[1]/@type eq 'C'" >
           <col><xsl:value-of select="following-sibling::mc[1]/@name"
/></col>
          </xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>
           <col />
          </xsl:otherwise>
         </xsl:choose>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:otherwise> <!-- At end -->
         <col/>
        </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
      </row>
     </xsl:when>

     <xsl:when test="@type = 'C'" >
      <xsl:choose>
       <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::mc" > <!-- Not at beginning
-->
        <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::mc[1]/@type eq 'C'" >
          <row>
           <col />
           <col><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></col>
          </row>
         </xsl:when>
        </xsl:choose>
       </xsl:when>
       <xsl:otherwise><!-- At beginning -->
        <row>
         <col/>
         <col><xsl:value-of select="@name" /></col>
        </row>
       </xsl:otherwise>
      </xsl:choose>
     </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:for-each>
  </table>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

. . . on this data:
<allsteps>
  <steps>
    <mc name="1" type="F"/>
    <mc name="2" type="C"/>
    <mc name="3" type="F"/>
    <mc name="4" type="C"/>
    <mc name="5" type="F"/>
    <mc name="6" type="C"/>
  </steps>
  <steps>
    <mc name="1" type="C"/>
    <mc name="2" type="C"/>
    <mc name="3" type="F"/>
    <mc name="4" type="C"/>
    <mc name="5" type="F"/>
    <mc name="6" type="C"/>
  </steps>
  <steps>
    <mc name="1" type="F"/>
    <mc name="2" type="C"/>
    <mc name="3" type="F"/>
    <mc name="4" type="F"/>
    <mc name="5" type="F"/>
    <mc name="6" type="C"/>
  </steps>
  <steps>
    <mc name="1" type="F"/>
    <mc name="2" type="C"/>
    <mc name="3" type="F"/>
    <mc name="4" type="F"/>
    <mc name="5" type="F"/>
    <mc name="6" type="F"/>
  </steps>
  <steps>
    <mc name="1" type="C"/>
    <mc name="2" type="C"/>
    <mc name="3" type="C"/>
    <mc name="4" type="C"/>
    <mc name="5" type="C"/>
    <mc name="6" type="C"/>
  </steps>
</allsteps>

Subject: [xsl] 2 columns with special conditions

Hi,

i have a "little" problem.
I try to get a two column layout where all elements with type F live in
column one and elements with type C in column two. Special thing is that
you have watch the order. How can i achieve case 2 and 3?

Thanks in advance
Sven

xml:
case1:

<mc name="1" type="F"/>
<mc name="2" type="C"/>
<mc name="3" type="F"/>
<mc name="4" type="C"/>
<mc name="5" type="F"/>
<mc name="6" type="C"/>

=>
(first column always type F, second type C)

1	2
3	4
5	6

there is no problem, template works.


case2:

<mc name="1" type="C"/>
<mc name="2" type="C"/>
<mc name="3" type="F"/>
<mc name="4" type="C"/>
<mc name="5" type="F"/>
<mc name="6" type="C"/>

=>

-	1
-	2
3	4
5	6


case3:

<mc name="1" type="F"/>
<mc name="2" type="C"/>
<mc name="3" type="F"/>
<mc name="4" type="F"/>
<mc name="5" type="F"/>
<mc name="6" type="C"/>

=>

1	2
3	-
4	-
5	6

my xsl:
....
<xsl:template match="step">
	<xsl:for-each select="descendant::mc[position() mod 2 = 1]">
		<tr>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of
select="self::node()[@type='F']/@name"/>
			</td>
			<td>
				<xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::node()[position()+1 and @type='C']/@name"/>
			</td>
		</tr>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
...
