Dear All,
I need to transform stuff in this form: <r> <section/> <paragraph>adolf</paragraph> <paragraph>alex</paragraph> <section/> <paragraph>bertram</paragraph> <paragraph>bilbo</paragraph> <paragraph>bumble</paragraph> <section/> <paragraph>claus</paragraph> <paragraph>charles</paragraph> <paragraph>cymbaline</paragraph> </r> to this: <r> <section> <Para>adolf</Para> <Para>alex</Para> </section> <section> <Para>bertram</Para> <Para>bilbo</Para> <Para>bumble</Para> </section> <section> <Para>claus</Para> <Para>charles</Para> <Para>cymbaline</Para> </section> </r> The style-sheet which worked seems clumsy to me: <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <r> <xsl:apply-templates select="/r/section"/> </r> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:variable name="gid" select="generate-id()"/> <section> <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::paragraph[generate-id(preceding-sibling::section[1])=$gid]"/> </section> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="paragraph"> <Para> <xsl:apply-templates/> </Para> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Can anyone suggest something faster and/or more elegant please? Also: I don't understand why this didn't work: if anyone can explain, I'd be grateful: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <r> <xsl:apply-templates select="/r/section"/> </r> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:variable name="sect" select="self::node()"/> <section> <!-- match only paragraphs whose first preceding sibling is the section we are processing --> <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::paragraph[preceding-sibling::section[1]=$sect]"/> </section> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="paragraph"> <Para> <xsl:apply-templates/> </Para> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Thank you, Richard Bondi XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
