Re: [xsl] Copying all comments [xsltproc 1.0]

[pankaj.c@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello again,

And what about displaying the value of @id of <query id="Q1"> before it.

<xsl:value-of select="substring(., 
13,substring-before(.,'&#x0022;'))"/><xsl:text>.&#x0009;</xsl:text>
is incorrect
<xsl:value-of select="substring(., 
13,substring-before(.,'"'))"/><xsl:text>.&#x0009;</xsl:text>

and 
<xsl:value-of select="substring(., 13,1))"/><xsl:text>.&#x0009;</xsl:text> 
will not help as the no (Q1) can exceed to two digit (10-99) to three 
digit.

I think it's useless to use right double quote unicode value here. 

Output required:

1. <query id="Q1">
2. <query id="Q2">

and so on.

<xsl:number/> too seems to be no help in conjuction <xsl:for-each> here.

The subject line is misleading as you don't want to copy the commennts 
that would be:

<xsl:copy-of select="//comment()"/>

You want to generate elements from xml markup in comments.

If you are sure the commented code is well formed, and you are in a 
situation that you can use d-o-e then you can use

<xsl:for-each select="//comment()">
<xsl;value-of disable-output-escaping="yes" select="."/>
</xsl:for-each>

if the comments may not be well formed or you can't use d-o-e then you 
need to parse the string and generate elements. Most systems have 
extension functions to do that. (You could use htmlparse.xsl to do it in 
xslt but that's xslt2)
