Subject: RE: [xsl] Looping through a tree and retaining parent values From: Emmanuel Bégué <eb@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Apr 2009 16:25:22 +0200 |
Hello,
This should work:
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="menuItems">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="menuItem">
<p id="{@label}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="ancestor-or-self::menuItem" mode="uic"/>
</p>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="menuItem" mode="uic">
<uicontrol>
<xsl:value-of select="@label"/>
</uicontrol>
</xsl:template>
What this does is, for every menuItem in the source,
creates a p element, then populates it with all ancestors
of the current menuItem (including itself) renamed as
uicontrol and having the @label as content.
Regards,
EB
