Hello,
I am fairly new to XSL but have a special task to do. I'd like to ask all experts on the list for some starting advice, because currently I am blind in which direction to go (in parallel I am reading Michael Kay's book as well as some tutorials). I have some very low level XML documents, which can be seen as just a sequence of elements with almost no hierarchy or container elements. <chaptertitle>ABC</chaptertitle> <para>...</para> <note>...</note> <para><img src=... /></para> <heading1>...</heading1> <para>...</para> <note>...</note> <para>...</para> <para>...</para> ... <chaptertitle>DEF</chaptertitle> <para>...</para> ... I know my life would be easier if I had container elements around each chapter's content, because finally I want to write each chapter into a separate file: <chapter title="ABC"> <para>...</para> ... </chapter> <chapter title="DEF"> ... My question is about which way to go: * Trying to create a XSL stylesheet that operates on a sequence of elements ("all elements after <chaptertitle> until the next") -- if that is possible at all? Or * Trying to enhance the XML source with above mentioned container elements (using which tool?) before applying a XSL stylesheet? Thanks you for any hints that help accelerate my learning [X?]path. - Michael -- cap studio Redaktion "Schallplattenmann" http://schallplattenmann.de Gabelsbergerstr. 17 phone: +49-9131-28747 91052 Erlangen, GERMANY fax: +49-9131-28717 ----------- computer assisted publishing ----------- XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
