[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Capturing element nodes which look like variables!?
 :Hello! : :Been away for a while. My question is somewhat relating to :XML (can't really get away from it too much if I want :people to understand what I'm saying), but the focus is on XSL. : :I know how to do the template match, and all that neat stuff :with normal XML (ie <tag></tag>). But now after being :away from DTDs, XML, and XSL for 2 1/2 months I have to write :a style sheet for an xml document, and I'm at a loss :on how to match these tags. (Please bear in mind I did not :write the XML) : :The XML is written in the following way! : :<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?> : <dppo:document> : <dppo:titleDef> : Fiji: Crisis Over...or is it? : </dppo:titleDef> : <dppo:packetDef> : <dppo:titleDef> : Summary : </dppo:titleDef> : <dppo:paraDef> : <dppo:textDef> : Hostages held in Parliament since 19 May 2000 were :released xxx. : Ratu Josefa Iloilo will be sworn in as Fiji`s new :president on Tuesday, 18 July. : Fiji`s two-month political coup is over, but the :hostage crisis is a huge disaster for Fiji. : The fabric of multi-culturalism and harmonious race :relations has been severely strained. : The economy, which was beginning to show signs of :recovery after years of stagnation, is hobbled. : </dppo:textDef> : </dppo:paraDef> : </dppo:packetDef> : </dppo:document> : :(Note: These are over simplified stylesheets, without any of :the bells and whistles) : :I tired doing the following but XSLT looks at it as a variable :so it wants me to declare it as a variable. : :<xsl:stylesheet : xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" : version="1.0" : xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" : xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" : result-ns="fo"> : :<xsl:template match="/"> : <HTML> : <HEAD> : <TITLE> : </TITLE> : </HEAD> : <BODY> : <xsl:apply-templates /> : </BODY> : </HTML> :</xsl:template> : :<xsl:template match="dppo:document"> : <xsl:apply-templates /> :</xsl:template> :</xsl:stylesheet> : : :When I do, the text does display however its not really being :matched by anything except the variable declaration! :So the text cannot really be manipulated by the stylesheet :just displayed. : :<xsl:stylesheet : xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" : version="1.0" : xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" : xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" : result-ns="fo" : xmlns:dppo="file:/dev/null"> : :<xsl:template match="/"> : <HTML> : <HEAD> : <TITLE> : </TITLE> : </HEAD> : <BODY> : <xsl:apply-templates /> : </BODY> : </HTML> :</xsl:template> : :<xsl:template match="dppo:document"> : <xsl:apply-templates /> :</xsl:template> :</xsl:stylesheet> : :I thought of trying to capture the information as a variable would :but I'm not quite sure how to do that. I began to try the following :and was not sure if it would work. : : :<xsl:stylesheet : xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" : version="1.0" : xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40" : xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" : result-ns="fo" : xmlns:dppo="file:/dev/null"> : :<!-- These are the variables used --> :<dppo:document document="document"> :<dppo:packetDef packet="packet"> :<dppo:paraDef para="para"> :<dppo:titleDef title="title">.... : :If I could get a simple example on how to be able to match these :XML tags I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks in advance, and I hope :that I'm out of the scope of this list. : :Thanks again! : :Eddy : XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
