Re: convert nested elements, ID's and classes to CSS

Thanks! I was working on this in the background before
I got a chance to read the replies and came up with
pretty much the exact same solution... :)  I added in
ignoring text nodes also.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"
standalone="yes"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8" omit-xml-declaration="yes"
standalone="no" indent="no" media-type="text/xml"/>

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

<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor-or-self::*">
<xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:if test="@id">#<xsl:value-of
select="@id"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@class">.<xsl:value-of
select="@class"/><xsl:text> </xsl:text></xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<xsl:text>{  }
</xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

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

</xsl:transform>



I'll have to take a closer look at Michael Kay's
response too.  I'm using xslt 1.0 for now but maybe
the &#xa is better?



XSLT 1.0 or 2.0? Here's a 2.0 solution, untested:

<xsl:template match="*">
 <xsl:apply-templates
select="ancestor-or-self::*/(.|@class|@id)"
mode="token"/>
 <xsl:text>&#xa;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="token">
  <xsl:value-of select="concat(name(), ' ')"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@class" mode="token">
  <xsl:value-of select="concat('.', ., ' ')"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@id" mode="token">
  <xsl:value-of select="concat('#', ., ' ')"/>
</xsl:template>
