[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Why processor or stylesheets puts strange output
 hello
I have been wondering why a simple thing is bothering me so much.
i asked this on list...... got reply...... tried that...... and after
all the things
IT IS NOT WORKING
and this mail is quite lengthy as i wanted to explain every thing which
i can.
I have a simple HTML
<html>
<head>
<meta name="generator" content="HTML Tidy, see www.w3.org" />
<title>HELLO LIST</title>
</head>
<body bgcolor="#C4C4C4" text="#443481" link="#1111EE">
<p>This is for br tag</p>
<div>The stylesheet is doing some mischief</div>
<div><font size="+1">WHAT IS THE REASON ?</font><br />
<br />
<br />
</div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<p>Is it not the proper syntax for matching<br />
tag.</p>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
it is text which has body as parent
</body>
</html>
i wrote a simple stylesheet to convert it in WML
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<wml>
<card title="output">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</card>
</wml>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="head"/>
<xsl:template match="body">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p/div | div/div | center/div | font/div">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="font/p | center/p | div/p | p/p">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p/font | center/font | div/font | font/font">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="font">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="br[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::br]]" />
<xsl:template match="body/text()" />
<xsl:template match="body/br" />
<xsl:template match="br">
<br />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You must be wondering why so many <br />template match.but that is the
whole problem.
all i want to do is put <br /> in the output if it is in input.that is
simple.
but i want if the <br />is just after <a> ...</a> or <li>...</li> or
<br /> or it has body it's parent then do not put <br /> in the output.
now when i wrote this in the style sheet
<xsl:template match="body/text()">
<p><xsl:apply-templates /></p>
</xsl:template>
and removing <xsl:template match="body/text()" />
i got this output
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC '-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML
1.2//EN'
'http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.2.xml'><wml><card title="output">
<p/><p>This is for br tag</p><p/><p>The stylesheet is doing some
mischief</p><p/><p>WHAT IS THE REASON ?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
</p><p/><p/><p/><p/><p/><p/><p/><p>Is it not the proper syntax for
matching<br/>
tag.</p><p/><p/><p/><p/><p/><p/>
</card></wml>
the strange thing is the so many <p /> tags .i do not know from where
they are coming as there is no <p /> in the stylesheet though many <p>
and </p> are there.
and not giving the "it is text which has body as parent" .I thought to
sacrifice that ok not coming this text which has body as parent.
but i tried for not putting<br />in output if it is after <br /> as
written in the style sheet(though i want to test for <a> <li> and <br
/> but i tried only for <br /> )
but it is giving this output
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC '-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML
1.2//EN'
'http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.2.xml'><wml><card title="output">
<p>This is for br tag</p><p>The stylesheet is doing some
mischief</p><p>WHAT IS THE REASON ?<br/>
<br/>
<br/>
</p><p>Is it not the proper syntax for matching<br/>
tag.</p>
</card></wml>
this is better than that though not outputing text having body as
parent but it has no strange <p/>.
but it still has three <br /> after "WHAT IS THE REASON?" but it should
have one <br />.
for this output i have used the stylesheet which is given .
can any one tell me about strange out out and how to get correct
output.
output should be like something
<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC '-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML
1.2//EN'
'http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.2.xml'><wml><card title="output">
<p>This is for br tag</p><p>The stylesheet is doing some
mischief</p><p>WHAT IS THE REASON ?<br/>
</p><p>Is it not the proper syntax for matching<br/>
tag.</p>
<p>it is text which has body as parent</p>
</card></wml>
