Re: [xsl] outputting to original destination from within a result-document

[Sara Mitchell <samitchell6@xxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I'm not sure what you're input looks like, but
I have a stylesheet that takes a DITA file (with
several topics or concepts that could be nested) and
1) creates a map and 2) spits out a separate file for
each topic level element. 

This is similar to your problem, but you will have to
substitute your own input. However, I'm using XSLT 1.0
-- so the syntax below is somewhat different. It
basically consists of these templates and a parameter
that specifies the name for the map file:

<xsl:param name="map-name"/> 

<xsl:template match="/">
  <!-- creates the map file -->
  <xsl:call-template name="structure-map"/>
  <!-- do chunking -->
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="topic">
<!-- could be concept, reference or task. Uses an 
  extension element to output to a separate file. 
  You would just use the XSLT element instead. -->
  <xlnr:write file="tempTopic.xml"
select="concat('xml/', @id, '.xml')">
<!-- copies the content -- you would do whatever 
  you need to do to create DITA content from your
  source --> 
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xlnr:write>
</xsl:template>

<!-- identity transformation template to copy all the
  DITA elements and attributes under 'topic' elements
-->

<!-- to create the map -->
<xsl:template name="structure-map">
  <xlnr:write file="tempMap.xml"
select="concat('xml/', $map-name, 'Map.xml')">
    <map>
      <xsl:for-each select="/dita/topic |
/dita/concept | /topic | /concept">
       <xsl:call-template name="topic-ref"/>
     </xsl:for-each>
    </map>
  </xlnr:write>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="topic-ref">
  <topicref href="{concat(@id, '.xml')}">
    <xsl:for-each select="topic | concept">
      <xsl:call-template name="topic-ref"/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </topicref>
</xsl:template>
