Hello Jay,
if you want to process the category nodes, why you go directly to the
topic nodes?
<xsl:template match="root">
<xsl:apply-templates select="category"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="category">
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="topic">
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
In general it's bad coding to use //. Try to specify the path more exactly.
Regards,
Joerg

excellent...
now if you can just tell me how I get the category of the topic.
output would need to be something like
Category1
topic1
topic2
topic3
topic4
Category2
topic1
topic2
Do you see where I'm going with this? Thanks for the help.
Jay

Hello Jay,

I've got a need to limit the amount of ouput generated in a translation.
Assume the following xml
<category value="category1">
<topic value="topic1"/>
<topic value="topic2"/>
<topic value="topic3"/>
</category>
<category value="category2">
<topic value="topic1"/>
<topic value="topic2"/>
<topic value="topic3"/>
</category>
How would I limit my total number of topics output to say 4 topics? This
is straight forward in code, but not sure how to do it xsl? Basically the
output would be topic1,2 and 3 from category1 and topic 1 from category 2
i've done an example in a procedural style to be clear for you, this is
just one way of doing this
xml
----------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<root>
<category value="category1">
<topic value="topic1"/>
<topic value="topic2"/>
<topic value="topic3"/>
</category>
<category value="category2">
<topic value="cattopic1"/>
<topic value="cattopic2"/>
<topic value="cattopic3"/>
</category>
</root>
xsl
---------------------------------
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//topic">
<xsl:if test="position() < 4">
<xsl:value-of select="@value"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
cheers, jim fuller
