Re: [xsl] How to remove outer tag if present in XSLT

["Matt Van Voorhies mvanvoorhies@xxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

      Ungroup (remove) the outer <p> if it is the only element that is a child
of the arbitrary outer node (and is a <p> node)..

      So a <div>
            ...
            ...
          </div>

      Would not unwrap, since it's a "<div>" and not a "<p>"


      Thanks,
            Matt V.

Hi Matt,



What are the precise conditions in which you want to ungroup the <p>?



Is it when all of the following are true:



  *   The element is a <p> element.
  *   The <p> element is the only child of its parent (it stands alone).
  *   The <p> element contains one or more child <p> elements.
  *   The <p> element contains no non-<p> elements.



  *   Chris

                Hi folks,



                                I have a hopefully simple question that I was
unable to find a good answer for.  Im trying to convert some code we have
that manipulates an XML structure (transforming to HTML output) and move it
into the XSLT transform.



                                Problem:  Given a specific XML tag, I need to
remove the containing paragraph but only if its a single containing
paragraph tag.  Parsing using .NET Saxon 10.6 for transform.



                                So for example, if I have the following XML
structure 



                                <arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid>
                                    <p>Some content, probably a bunch of
internal tags like H1, H2, LI, DIV, etc.  </p>
                                    <p>More content, again, may have more
stuff in it like an <p>Internal paragraph</p></p>
                                    <p>stuff3</p>
                        </ arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid >



                        Running through the transform would produce:



                        <arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid>
                                    <p>Some content, probably a bunch of
internal tags like H1, H2, LI, DIV, etc.  </p>
                                    <p>More content, again, may have more
stuff in it like an <p>Internal paragraph</p></p>
                                    <p>stuff3</p>
                        </ arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid >



                        Since there is not an outer/containing paragraph tag.



                        However, if the input was 



                        <arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid>

<p>
                        <p>Some content, probably a bunch of internal tags
like H1, H2, LI, DIV, etc.  </p>
                        <p>More content, again, may have more stuff in it like
an <p>Internal paragraph</p></p>
                        <p>stuff3</p>

</p>
</ arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid >



                Running through the transform would produce:



                <arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid>
                                    <p>Some content, probably a bunch of
internal tags like H1, H2, LI, DIV, etc.  </p>
                                    <p>More content, again, may have more
stuff in it like an <p>Internal paragraph</p></p>
                                    <p>stuff3</p>
                        </ arbitrary-outer-tag-thats-valid >



            Where the single, containing <p> tag was removed, but everything
inside of it was retained exactly as it was.



            Could someone help?



            Thanks,
