[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] node concatenation
 I believe this may have been covered before with some of the grouping q/a's but I did a few searches both on the fact and the archive, and I was unable to find what I was looking for. Essentially, I've got something similar to the following:
~~~~xml fragment~~~~
<element name="a">
<attribute name="attA1"/>
<attribute name="attA2"/>
<element name="aa">
<attribute name="attAA1"/>
<attribute name="attAA2"/>
</element>
</element>
<element name="b" />
<element name="a">
<attribute name="attA3"/>
<attribute name="attA4"/>
<element name="ab">
<attribute name="attAB1"/>
<attribute name="attAB2"/>
<element name="aba">
<attribute name="attABA1"/>
<attribute name="attABA2"/>
<attribute name="attABA3"/>
<attribute name="attABA4"/>
</element>
</element>
</element>
<element name="a"/>
<element name="b">
<element name="ba"/>
</element>I would like to combine all of the similar elements and reference the element children into something like this: ~~~ xml fragment output ~~~ <element name="a"> <attribute name="attA1"/> <attribute name="attA2"/> <attribute name="attA3"/> <attribute name="attA4"/> <elementRef name="aa"/> <elementRef name="ab"/> </element> <element name="b"> <elementRef name="ba"/> </element> <element name="aa"> <attribute name="attAA1"/> <attribute name="attAA2"/> </element> <element name="ab"> <attribute name="attAB1"/> <attribute name="attAB2"/> <elementRef name="aba"> </element> ....etc I am attempting to come up with an automated way of storing off what the DTD is of the xml data produced by my database. My hope is that I can transform my original xml into this newer format (element/attribute), and then transform that into a DTD file. I have an xsl file that works through all of the original xml data and produces what you see above. However, I'm at a loss how to group/concatenate the multiple data outputs. If there is a better way to do this, I'd sure appreciate the help. Thanks! bix _________________________________________________________________ Add photos to your messages with MSN 8.
