RE: How to parse an element with content and child-elements

[sara.mitchell@xxxxxxxxx]

This is very simple -- you use two templates. For example:

 

<xsl:template match="content">

 <p>

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

</p>

</xsl:template>

 

This one put in the P tags around the content and processes any children (both text AND other

elements). Text simply comes out as text (there's a default template for text). Any other child

element comes out matching a template for that child if you provide it. So you're other template

would be this:

 

<xsl:template match="other-content">

 <br/>

  <font color="red">

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

  </font>

 <br/>

</xsl:template>

 

When the XSL processor finds the Other-content tag, it looks for the second template

and inserts the BR and Font tags. The <xsl:apply-templates> tag inside of the template

for Other-content simply makes sure that the text children or any other element children

are also formatted and output.

Subject: How to parse an element with content and child-elements

Hi,

I want to parse XML-elements wich contain text AND other elements (Example). the stylesheet should print the value

of the element (Example: content), and if it passes a child element it should format this with new rules. it is important that the child element stays at his place in the text.

 

Im sure this is possible, but i have no idea how to realize :(

 

My Example:

 

DTD:

<!ELEMENT content ( #PCDATA | other-content ) >

 

 

XML-File:

 

<xml-file>

<content>

    blablabla bla bla bla bla  

        <other-content>blub etc etc etc</other-content> 

    bla bla bla

</content>

</xml-file>

 

 

 

I want to format this XML code into HTML:

 

<p>

blablabla bla bla bla bla 

    <br/>

       <font color="red">blub etc etc etc</font>

    <br/>

bla bla bla

</p>

 

thanks for any help
