[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Transforming HTML to NITF
 Hi Adam,
Here's the solution to the problem:
The input xml doc:
-----------------
<body>
<p> this is some text</p>
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
</ul>
this is <em>emphasis</em> some more <b>text</b><br/><br/>
<p>This is a new paragraph</p>
</body>
The stylesheet:
--------------
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="body">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="node()[not(self::p or self::table or self::ul or self::ol or self::body)
and not(ancestor::*[self::p or self::table or self::ul or self::ol])]">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position()=1 or not(preceding-sibling::node()[1]
[not(self::p or self::table or self::ul or self::ol)])">
<p>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="endOfGroup"
select="(following-sibling::node()[self::p or self::table or self::ul or self::ol])[1]"/>
<xsl:variable name="endGroupPosition"
select="count($endOfGroup/preceding-sibling::node())"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="following"
select="following-sibling::node()
[count(preceding-sibling::node()) < $endGroupPosition]"/>
</p>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template mode="following" match="node()">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The result:
----------
<body><p> this is some text</p><ul>
<li>item 1</li>
</ul><p>
this is <em>emphasis</em> some more <b>text</b><br /><br /></p><p>This is a new
paragraph</p></body>
Hope this helped.
Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.

Since the body of NITF (News Industry Text Format, a standard format for
News content) is alot like HTML (in the simplest form), I'm allowing my
users to create NITF using an HTML parser. I then pass the HTML through HTML
Tidy to make it well formed XML and then through an XSL to make it NITF.
I have come across a problem that I dont know how to fix and I need the
communities help.
the NITF has a <content.body> tag which is equivilant to HTMLs <body> tag.
However, its children are far more rigidly defined in that it only allows
elements as children. For my purposes, I'm allowed <p> <table> <ul> and <ol>
tags (there are others but we don't use them yet).
After passing the HTML through HTML Tidy, I might get something like:
<body>
<p> this is some text</p>
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
</ul>
this is <em>emphasis</em> some more <b>text</b></br></br>
<p>This is a new paragraph</p>
</body>
This would occur if I started with:
<body>
<p> this is some text
<ul>
<li>item 1</li>
</ul>
this is <em>emphasis</em> some more <b>text</b></p>
<p>This is a new paragraph</p>
</body>
