Hi everybody!
I spend a lot of time editing Spss syntaxes at my work in order to verify the logical structure of data exported from online questionnaires. I hope I can use the xml source code of each questionary and with Stylus to parse it into spss syntax. As an example, what looks like this in xml:
<Expression>f('m24q1') == '1' || f('m24q1') == '2'</Expression>
to appear in this manner in my spss syntax:
SELECT IF m24q1 = 1 OR m24q1 = 2.
So far, with xQuary expressions I manage to filter nodes I need (e.g. //TrueNodes//Expression - which gives me all the nodes containing the logical conditions for each question).
What should I do next? Can it be done with Stylus?

The XML representation is not very XMLish. See fMathML for an example
of using XML to represent formula.

This format is one XML element with some text in it. The text content
needs to be parsed into tokens then reconstituted into the text output.

The Book XSLT Cookbook has some examples of tokenizing a string. There
are also resources on

XSLT FAQ http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/sect21.html
