Re: html + xml -> xsl -> html - Problem

Hi Ken,

thank you for your example, but there are some problems according to the
following examples.

I've changed (a little bit) your code that "nearly" no html-tag is used
in the xslt-file.

[...]

--------------------------------------

data.xml:
*************
<data>
	<row class="col0">
		<title>Title A</title>
		<num>123</num>
	</row>
	<row class="col1">
		<title>Title B</title>
		<num>456</num>
	</row>
	<row class="col2">
		<title>Title C</title>
		<num>789</num>
	</row>
</data>

test.html (or .xml):
*************
<!-- news template -->
<table>
	<tr loop="row"><td myid="title">dummytitel</td><td
myid="num">1234</td><td></td></tr>
</table>
<!-- /news template -->

test.xsl:
*************
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:output method="html" omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>

<!--the external data to be added to the HTML source when building output-->
<xsl:variable name="datafile" select="document('data.xml')"/>

<!--found an attribute "loop"-->
<xsl:template match="*[@loop]">
	<!--remember the cells of the row for later-->
	<xsl:variable name="loop" select="*" />
<!-- remember tagname of the loop-element to generate element later-->
<xsl:variable name="looptag" select="name()" />
	<xsl:for-each select="$datafile/data/*[local-name(.)=current()/@loop]">
		<!--building a row based on the specified row-oriented element-->
		<xsl:element name="{$looptag}">
		<!--need to remember the row context when doing the cells-->
		<xsl:variable name="row" select="." />
		<xsl:for-each select="$loop">
<!-- FIXME: show element-tag from source (html-file) -->
			<td>
			<!--match the cell's element name as asked for in attribute-->
			<xsl:value-of select="$row/*[local-name(.)=current()/@myid]" />
			</td>
		</xsl:for-each>
		</xsl:element>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@*|node()"><!--identity for all other nodes-->
	<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
	</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

**************************************
result:
*************
<!-- news template -->
<table>
  <tr>
    <td>Title A</td><td>123</td><td></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Title B</td><td>456</td><td></td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td>Title C</td><td>789</td><td></td>
  </tr>
</table>
<!-- /news template -->

^ which is ok for this html-template

--------------------------------------

So, considering the html-template-file the xsl-file shouldn't contain _any_
html-tag to
produce the resulting html/xml-file rather get the tag from the source-file.

ex. A:

test.html (or .xml):
***********************
<!-- news template -->
<table>
<tr loop="row">
	<td><div><div myid="title">dummycontent</div></div></td>
	<td myid="num">1234</td>
	<td>Blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /news template -->

which should result in:
***********************
<!-- news template -->
<table>
<tr>
	<td><div><div>Title A</div></div></td>
	<td myid="num">123</td>
	<td>Blah</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td><div><div>Title B</div></div></td>
	<td myid="num">456</td>
	<td>Blah</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td><div><div>Title C</div></div></td>
	<td myid="num">789</td>
	<td>Blah</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- /news template -->

or

ex. B:

test.html (or .xml):
***********************
<!-- news template -->
<div loop="row">
	<div myid="title">dummycontent&nbsp;<div
myid="num">dummyconten2</div></div>
</div>
<!-- /news template -->

which should result in:
***********************
<!-- news template -->
<div>
	<div>Title A<div>123</div></div>
</div>
<div>
	<div>Title B<div>456</div></div>
</div>
<div>
	<div>Title C<div>789</div></div>
</div>
<!-- /news template -->

or a more complex example with recursion:

test.html (or .xml):
***********************
<!-- news template -->
<div loop="row">
	<div myid="title">dummycontent</div>
	<div myid="num">dummyconten2</div>
	<div loop="nested">
		<div myid="title">dummy2</div>
		<div loop="third">
			<div myid="name"></div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- /news template -->

with xml-data:
***********************
<data>
	<row class="col0">
		<title>Title A</title>
		<num>123</num>
		<nested>
			<title>NestedTitle</title>
			<third>
				<name>MyName</name>
				<name>MyName2</name>
			</third>
		</nested>
	</row>
	<row class="col1">
		<title>Title B</title>
		<num>456</num>
		<nested>
			<title>NestedTitle2</title>
			<third></third>
		</nested>
		<nested>
			<title>NestedTitle3</title>
			<third>
				<name>MyName3</name>
			</third>
		</nested>
	</row>
</data>



which should result in:
<!-- news template -->
<div>
	<div>Title A</div>
	<div>123</div>
	<div>
		<div>NestedTitle</div>
		<div>
			<div>MyName</div>
			<div>MyName2</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
<div>
	<div>Title B</div>
	<div>456</div>
	<div>
		<div>NestedTitle2</div>
		<div></div>
	</div>
	<div>
		<div>NestedTitle3</div>
		<div>
			<div>MyName3</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div>
<!-- /news template -->

Is this possible with one xslt-file?

Thank you for any comment/example in advance.
