Re: matching multiple times, outputting once?

Hello Marty,

gee u kicked off the tail recursion *dissertation*, hehe though i like the
haskell stuff DN is digging into.

been off list for awhile and i see that u have already a few solutions, i
like the elegance of Goetz Bock solution.


here is yet another slight variation;


xsl
---------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
 <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*[@*]">
 <xsl:call-template name="a2e">
  <xsl:with-param name="node" select="."/>
  <xsl:with-param name="attpos" select="1"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="a2e">
 <xsl:param name="node" select="/.."/>
 <xsl:param name="attpos" select="/.."/>

 <xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="(count($node//@*)+1) > $attpos">
 <xsl:variable name="attribute"
select="name($node/@*[position()=$attpos])"/>

 <xsl:element name="{$attribute}">
 <xsl:call-template name="a2e">
  <xsl:with-param name="node" select="$node"/>
  <xsl:with-param name="attpos" select="$attpos+1"/>
 </xsl:call-template>
 </xsl:element>
 </xsl:when>
 <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$node"/></xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

--------------------------------------------
xml
---------------------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test2.xsl" ?>
<contents>
<emphasis bold="yes" italic="yes" >Hello</emphasis><br />
<emphasis bold="yes" italic="yes" >Hello</emphasis><br />
<emphasis underline="yes" italic="yes" bold="yes">Hello</emphasis><br />
<test test="yes">aaaaaaaaaaaaaa</test>
</contents>
--------------------------------------------
essentially this template is an attribute to element transform, it could
easily be adaptable for your purposes.
one of the benefits is that u could use the att name as the element

<contents>
<emphasis b="yes" i="yes" >Hello</emphasis><br />
<emphasis b="yes" i="yes" >Hello</emphasis><br />
<emphasis u="yes" i="yes" b="yes">Hello</emphasis><br />
</contents>

oh well, now i look at the tail recursion fun
