[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] for-each question
I am new to Xsl and am trying to parse a xml document into a html doc. I would like to have a heading above several elements but don't want that heading to show up above each element. I am sure this is simple but I can't seem to quite get it. Here is what I have.
If my xml file looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<test>
<id>TestId</id>
<book>ABC123</book>
<book>ABC456</book>
<book>ABC789</book>
</test>
I would like the html to read
The Books are:
ABC123
ABC456
ABC789
My Stylesheet segment is:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="book">
<I>
The Books are:
<xsl:apply-templates select="book" />
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</I>
</xsl:template>
With this XSL file I am getting the 'The Books are:' printed 3 times. I only need it once. I figure I have to use a for-each but I can't seem to get that to work correctly. Can anyone help here?
Thanks,
Rick
