Victoria LuSubject: How do I get rid of 'Tip' node?

Hello,

I need translate a source code attached here as tips.xml.
There are three <tps:context type="Single Page Sight" >. under each of them, I need to break each child <tps:p type="tx1"> to several pieces.

I have a problem to copy everything after <tps:c type="property name"> and text() eg. 'This bona fide patrician...', and before the first <tps:c type="Tip"> into a p tag.
But somehow the first <tps:c type="Tip"> always be copied over, which I have already copied to next lines with a different p type.

What's worng in my code as attched here as tips.xsl? The condition I marked there as '22222--How can I get rid of above extra &lt;tps:c type="Tip"&gt; line?--22222'.

I also attached here a result file tips_xfer.xml.

Would you please help me out?

Thank you sooooo very much,
Victoria

Hi Victoria,
the XPath expression you wrote will pick the first Tip node because it selects all the nodes that have at least one Semi-Bold before and one Tip after, and the first Tip is followed by a second one, so it is satisfies such condition.
As you are already using XSLT 2.0, I would use the "between" operator to express your condition, like in this instruction:

<xsl:apply-templates select="tps:p[@type='tx1']/node()[. &gt;&gt; ../tps:c[@type='property name'][1] and . &lt;&lt; ../tps:c[@type='Tip'][1] ]">

This would extract each node that is after the first 'property name' and before the first 'Tip'.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi Al,

That's what I wanted! So cool!
But I don't want the text() be copied over, which followed the node tps:c[@type='property name'] is "This bona fide patrician palace is still home...".

So I modified your condition to:
<xsl:apply-templates select="tps:p[@type='tx1']/node()[. &gt;&gt; ../text()[preceding-sibling::tps:c[@type='property name'][1]] and . &lt;&lt; ../tps:c[@type='Tip'][1]]">

But it doesn't work. Could you let me know what's wrong?

Hi Victoria,
the >> operator works against a single node, so you have to add a [1] after the ../text()[...] expression.

Hi Al,

You are great! Thank you so much!

Here are the results I got:
1. when I added [1] after, the text still copied over;
2. when I changed to [2] after, the text is gone but copied <tps:s/> over which followed the text and I don't wanted it;
3. when I changed [3] after, I got a prefect result.

This would put me on a risky. Sometimes they have a <tps:s/> to follow a text, and sometimes may not. How do I not hard code this [n] there?

Thanks again.

Hi Victoria,
if the purpose is to get the first tps:c following the 'property name', you can directly write ../tps:c[@type='property name'][1]/following-sibling::tps:c[1]

That's great idea!

But the first c: <tps:c type="Semi-bold">Doria Pamphilj<tps:s/></tps:c>
wouldn't copy in somhow.

In that case we will have to pick as reference the previous node:

../tps:c[@type='property name'][1]/following-sibling::tps:c[1]/preceding-sibling::*[1]

Wow, how prefect that works out!
You are the best! I learnt a lot from you.
I love you, Al and love your little beautiful princess, too!
She's so cute!

Many thanks again, Al!
