Subject: [xsl] Passing Parameters or ? From: "David Morris" <dmorris@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 28 Mar 2001 15:47:24 -0700 |
List members, I am new to XSL so the following may seem trivial, but I could not find the answer in the FAQ. How does one pre-process a document or node and then use the result in a second pass? I assume this may require passing a parameter from one pass to another, but I could not find an example that shows how to do this. I think this is probably command and would come in handy to for calculating a percentage of total or to set a column span (my case). Here is a sample of what I have been testing with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <test> <a> <b>ab</b> <b>ab</b> </a> <a> <b>abcd</b> </a> </test> Here is the style sheet: <?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="test"> <table><tbody> <xsl:apply-templates select="a" mode="pre"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="a" mode="process"/> </tbody></table> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="a" mode="pre"> <xsl:value-of select="count(*)" /> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="a" mode="process"> <tr> <td> <xsl:value-of select="count(*)" /> </td> <xsl:apply-templates /> </tr> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="b"> <td> <xsl:apply-templates /> </td> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Here is what the output looks like: <table> <tbody>21<tr> <td>2</td> <td>ab</td> <td>ab</td> </tr> <tr> <td>1</td> <td>abcd</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Which renders like: 21 2 ab ab 1 abcd The extra numbers in the output were just to prove that I had the necessary information to do what I would like. What I would really like for output is: <table> <tbody> <tr> <td>ab</td> <td>ab</td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2">abcd</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> I really appreciate any insight or suggestions and don't mind a response that just points to an example or some documentation that I can understand (I didn't get very far with the w3c recommendation). Thanks, David Morris XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
