Yves,
At 12:44 PM 3/27/2007, you wrote: After testing both of your solutions, I discovered that David's does not do the right thing: the inner-most run style from the hierarchy is not wrapped around the text, but ends up as a singleton element just before the run's text. Wendell's solution, however, works perfectly (after minor typo corrections), so I favour this one. What a thrill. :-> But I'm sure you'd fine that after correction of another minor typo or small error in David-logic (which is very dependable in the main but sometimes slips in the detail) you'd find David's would still work as well (since as I said it's the same solution). Currently, I am thinking about getting even more "static", by replacing the above generic style parsing approach by individual generated "classical" templates, each mapping one style and controlling the subsequently called templates. Well, the nice thing about the approach we suggested is that the style hierarchy you want is already "materialized", in your styles specification. If that's not available, then how should your stylesheet know what order to nest things in? That is, what information is available to determine what order of chaining is proper? Without such a specification as an input, I'd probably go for your second idea, or rather for a modification of it -- I'd nest my output in a tree of nodes generated from traversing the input formats (the w:i, w:b etc.) in series, probably in just the order they're provided in. So: <w:r> <w:Pr> <w:b/> <w:i> </w:Pr> <w:t>Bold, italicized text</w:t> </w:r> <xsl:template match="w:r"> <xsl:apply-templates select="w:Pr/*[1]" mode="style"/> <xsl:if test="not(w:Pr/*)"> <!-- fail safe if we have no styles --> <xsl:value-of select="w:t"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="w:Pr/*" mode="style"> <xsl:element name="local-name()"> <!-- creates an element 'b' for 'w:b', etc. --> <xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*" mode="style"/> <xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::*)"> <!-- if we have no following sibling, we're done --> <xsl:value-of select="../../w:t"/> </xsl:if> </xsl:element> </xsl:template> Note: untested. This would chain the templates in the order of styling elements in the input, so if you have <w:b/><w:i/><w:ul/> you'd get <b><i><ul>text</ul></i></b> but <w:i/><w:b/><w:ul/> would get you <i><b><ul>text</ul></b></i>. C'est la vie: if we have no other way to determine what order they nest in, we have to make it up somehow. I don't think that answers your questions, but I hope it helps you think about the problem.
