Subject: [xsl] Merging elements From: Nic Gibson <nicg@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 27 Oct 2011 10:13:34 +0200 |
Morning all I have a problem that I'm having trouble thinking of an elegant solution for. I have xhtml files which contain spans which need to be merged. The files are an intermediate stage in a pipeline converting from docx to xhtml (the stage before working out the sectional structure and converting formatting to headings). The spans may or may not be separated by whitespace. Something like; <p><span class="strong-emphasis">Fome</span> <span class="strong-emphasis">Zero</span> <span class="strong">: la stratigie du Brisil pour risoudre les problhmes de l'insicuriti alimentaire et de la faim </span></p> And also: <p><span class="strong">C</span><span class="strong">ontexte</span></p> I need to merge those spans with identical class attribute values along with the whitespace to get something like: <p><span class="strong-emphasis">Fome Zero</span> <span class="strong">: la stratigie du Brisil pour risoudre les problhmes de l'insicuriti alimentaire et de la faim </span></p> And: <p><span class="strong">Contexte</span></p> I've been looking at the problem for too long and have a horribly complex set of grouping statements that applied in a multiple mode stylesheet. I'm convinced that there's a simpler way to do this but I think that I can't see the wood for the trees. Does anyone have an elegant way to do this? thanks nic -- Corbas Consulting Digital Publishing Consultancy and Training http://www.corbas.co.uk, +44 (0)7718 906817/+44 (0)1273 930765
