Subject: [xsl] How best to use recursion/call-templates? From: "David T." <kujhawk@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 27 Feb 2002 17:37:16 -0500 (EST) |
If I have this XML fragment: <xml> <row> <account>32</account> <name>Smith</name> </row> <row> <account>32</account> <name>Jones</name> </row> <row> <account> 35</account> <name>White</name> </row> </xml> ....then I'd like this output <span> 32 <a>smith</a> <a>Jones</a> </span> <span> 35 <a> White </a> </span> In other words: each account number is in its own <span> tag, and each name that has that account # is a link (<a>) inside that span tag. Since Jones and Smith both have the same account #, they are inside the same span tags. Since White has a different account number, there is a separate <span> tag. 1. How can I achieve this output? 2. Should I use recursion to achieve this? 3. Is this a procedural problem and should I rethink my approach? What I have tried: I have tried a number of call-template functions but I never seem to get the right result, primarily because I never quite nail down the right params to send. I've also tried using preceding-sibling to work through this, but I got deeper into trouble. I'd post my XSL but it's terribly convoluted now. I am admittedly lost. Any suggestions? David.
