Re: [xsl] Re: Wrapping problem

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Kent,
  Following is a XSLT 1.0 solution to the problem:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />

<xsl:template match="/play">
 <play>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="scene" />
 </play>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="scene">
 <scene name="{.}">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::character">
     <xsl:with-param name="gen-id" select="generate-id()" />
   </xsl:apply-templates>
 </scene>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="character">
 <xsl:param name="gen-id" />

 <xsl:if test="$gen-id = generate-id(preceding-sibling::scene[1])">
   <character name="{.}">
     <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::line">
       <xsl:with-param name="gen-id" select="generate-id()" />
     </xsl:apply-templates>
   </character>
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="line">
 <xsl:param name="gen-id" />

 <xsl:if test="$gen-id = generate-id(preceding-sibling::character[1])">
   <xsl:copy-of select="." />
 </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This stylesheet, when applied to XML:

<play>
 <scene>Scene 1</scene>
 <character>char 1</character>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <character>char 2</character>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <character>char 3</character>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <scene>Scene 2</scene>
 <character>char 1</character>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
 <line>blah blah blah</line>
</play>

Produces output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<play>
  <scene name="Scene 1">
     <character name="char 1">
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
     </character>
     <character name="char 2">
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
     </character>
     <character name="char 3">
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
     </character>
  </scene>
  <scene name="Scene 2">
     <character name="char 1">
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
        <line>blah blah blah</line>
     </character>
  </scene>
</play>
