Re: [xsl] Copy Child Elements

Hi,

There is one obvious problem with your XSL here:

If you are using apply-templates, what it does is that it would select any of the children of the template root. Use <xsl:apply-templates select="section"> and and <xsl:apply-templates select="//section">

I am sure the others on the list would be able to help you with some of the other mistakes.

Good luck.

Hello,

Here is my input XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<reference>
 <refbody>
   <section>
     <title>Author Job Title</title>
     <p id="Field_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Author Job Title</p>
     <p id="Desc_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Setting that indicates...</p>
     <p id="AppTo_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Review Definitions, Section Item</p>
     <p id="Hdr_ShowAuthorJobTitle">Author Settings</p>
   </section>
   <section>
     <title>Type (of definition)</title>
     <p id="Field_Typeofdefinition">Type (of definition)</p>
     <p id="Desc_Typeofdefinition">Type of the performance...
       <ul>
         <li>
           <p><b>Focal</b>- A focal review is the most typical type...</p>
         </li>
       </ul></p>
     <p id="AppTo_Typeofdefinition">Review Definitions, Section Item,
Performance Review</p>
     <p id="Hdr_Typeofdefinition">Properties</p>
   </section>
 </refbody>
</reference>

Here is my desired output, except for the problem described below the output.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<definitions>
 <dt>Author Job Title</dt>
 <dl>Setting that indicates...</dl>
 <dt>Type (of definition)</dt>
 <dl>Type of the performance... Focal- A focal review is the most
typical type...</dl>
</definitions>

For the <dt> and <dl> elements, I want to include any contents from
the original content; for example the <ul> element in the second
<section> element, etc.

Here is my stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
 <xsl:output method="xml" />
 <xsl:template match="/">
   <definitions>
     <xsl:apply-templates />
   </definitions>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="reference">
   <xsl:apply-templates select="//section">
     <xsl:sort select="title" />
   </xsl:apply-templates>
 </xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="section">
   <xsl:for-each select="p[position()&lt;=2]">
     <xsl:if test="position()=1">
       <dt>
         <xsl:apply-templates />
       </dt>
     </xsl:if>
     <xsl:if test="position()=2">
       <dl>
         <xsl:apply-templates />
       </dl>
     </xsl:if>
   </xsl:for-each>
 </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Any help is appreciated.
