Re: XSLT 2.0 contains question

Under XSLT 1.0, I can do the following to filter out any xsd:element that has a xsd:documentation element that has the word "Deprecated" in it.

Actually, no ... your code only filters out any xsd:element whose *first* xsd:documentation child element has the word "Deprecated" in it, not "any" as you say.

   <xsl:template match="xsd:schema">
       <xsl:copy>
           <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>

<xsl:for-each select="xsd:element | xsd:complexType">
<xsl:if test="count(xsd:annotation[contains(xsd:documentation, 'Deprecated')]) = 0">
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

However, under XSLT 2.0, I get an error because contains can't take a more than xsd:documentation element. What is correct way to handle this under XSLT 2.0.

The correct way to handle this in both XSLT 1 and XSLT 2 is as follows:

<xsl:if test="not(xsd:annotation/xsd:documentation[contains(.,'Deprecated')])">

This expression will check all xsd:documentation children of xsd:annotation.

I hope this helps.
