[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Managing Groups of Elements?
 Hi all XSL-ers
Considering the following DTD:
<!ELEMENT news (title, newsItem*)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT newsItem (headline, strapline, link)>
<!ELEMENT headline (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT strapline (#PCDATA)>
<!ELEMENT link (#PCDATA)>
For an example of what the XML document might look, check out Listing
One at the foot of the mail.
The problem is that the number of newsItems may be too large to fit on
one screen. Indeed I have a requirement to fit no more than four
newsItems on one page. In cases where there are more than four, a link
should be present at the bottom of the page to navigate to the next
page.
My current progress on this problem is shown in Listing Two. I have
managed to create a template which creates a HTML page but without any
management of the newsItem elements.
Any help on this problem will be appreciated. Thanks in advance,
Nigel
