[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Am I missing something?
 I'm working on transforming TEI documents to HTML for on-line display. My problem has to do with converting page-break and column-break elements to HTML table elements so that the book page can be visually reconstructed. TEI unfortunately uses EMPTY elements to indicate page and column breaks. For a two page, two column document, you would have something like the following: ...
<div type="document">
<pb n="1"/>
<cb n="1/1"/>
<p>Some Text</p>
<cb n="1/2"/>
<p>Some Text</p>
<pb n="2"/>
<cb n="1/1"/>
<p>Some Text</p>
<cb n="1/2"/>
<p>Some Text</p>
</div>
...What I would like to do is convert those empty elements to container elements so that I can use tables to render the textual divisions. For instance: ...
<div class="document">
<table class="pb">
<tr><th colspan="2">Page 1</th></tr>
<tr>
<td class="cb"><p>Some Text</p></td>
<td class="cb"><p>Some Text</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table class="pb">
<tr><th colspan="2">Page 2</th></tr>
<tr>
<td class="cb"><p>Some Text</p></td>
<td class="cb"><p>Some Text</p></td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
...But for the life of me, I don't see how to do it with XSLT. The following template makes XT see red: <xsl:template match="pb">
</table>
<table>
<tr><th colspan="2">Page <xsl:value-of select="@n"/></th></tr>
</xsl:template>Is there a workaround that allows you to open an element in one template and close it in another. Is there a "correct" way to approach this. Or, am I just missing something obvious?
