[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] RE: Paragraphs in Word XML
 Hi again,
To follow up this thread I'll tell you how I finally succeeded in this. As
Michael said it was a tough one.
I did the transformation in two steps. If I understand correctly it could not
be done with plain XSLT 1.0 but libsxlt has the <xsl:document> element from
XSLT 1.1 that I needed and this is available in other engines too.
1. First I created a temporary file as this:
<xsl:document href="tmp.xml">
<dict>
<entry>
<xsl:call-template name="raport" />
</entry>
</dict>
</xsl:document>
2. Here I created the result without any <p> elements but with
<w:pPr>
<w:pStyle w:val="TableHeader"/>
</w:pPr>
(Paragraph style definition) at the beginning of every paragraph
3. Then I read the data into the document using
<xsl:apply-templates select="document('tmp.xml')"/>
4. In this I used transformations using method by David Carlisle from
http://www.biglist.com/lists/xsl-list/archives/200510/msg00089.html
To add the <p> element in the right places.
I could not solve without using tmp.xml.
So great thanks for Michael and David and for this great list.
Regards
Kaarle

This is a tough one but similar problems have been solved on this list
before!
I think the design in outline is this: if you encounter a table that has a
break element within it, you need to apply a template/function that splits it
into two: everything before the break, and everything after the break; you
then apply the same processing recursively to "everything after the break" in
case there are multiple breaks.
The processing is a template rule that takes the break element as a parameter.
When processing an element that is an ancestor of the break element, create a
shallow copy of yourself containing deep copies of all your pre-break
children; then apply templates recursively to the child that's an ancestor of
the break element, then create a shallow copy of yourself containing deep
copies of all your post-break children.
Hope that makes sense, I don't have time to translate it into code!
