[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] mixed content nodes question
 I'm really new to XSL and I'm having trouble figuring out how to do what seem to be fairly basic things. For example, say I have the following file: <root> <child> <leaf>Leaf Value1</leaf> <leaf>Leaf Value2</leaf> </child> <child> <leaf>Leaf Value <dictionary lookup="3"/> 3</leaf> </child> </root> and I wanted to transform it very simply to: <root> <child> <leaf>Leaf Value1</leaf> <leaf>Leaf Value2</leaf> </child> <child> <leaf>Leaf Value Foo 3</leaf> </child> </root> I'd imagine I'd have some part of my xsl sheet include a long 'when' block and switch on the lookup attribute's values so i'd have: <xsl:when test="3">Foo</xsl:when> <xsl:when test="4">Bar</xsl:when> But I can't figure out how to do the actual transforming of only those <dictionary> tags in place, leaving the rest of the file unchanged. I've tried apply-templates in the a template matching "/", then having a template matching "*" do a test to see if the current node is <dictionary>, if so, transform and write out, otherwise, write out as it is, but I can't get it to work right. If it's vastly easier to process if instead of having: <dictionary lookup="3"/> -> Foo I have: <dictionary>3</dictionary> -> Foo I might be able to make that change to the xml format, but I'm still confused about how to deal with mixed nodes. I feel like people must do this all the time, if they have bits of HTML embedded in larger XML trees they must have markup tags like <b>, <a> that make the nodes mixed content, but I can't find a good example of it. Also, I keep coming across vague references to the fact that MSXSL.exe v3 is perhaps not the ideal way of transforming my xml docs. Given that I'm on windows, is there a better tool to use? Any help or pointers to help would be greatly appreciated, jeb.
