[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Selecting First Direct Sibling
 I'm having a weird and frustrating problem. I have two XSL files (XPath1.0/Xalan2.7J). Both do the same thing. One (mine) is more robust and has a bit more processing. The other more simplistic and different formatting but with the same goal in mind. That goal is to produce a flat list of elements and its attributes from an XML Schema document. The objective here is to get the comment block directly after an element and/or attribute declaration. Example: <xsd:element name="blah"> <!-- This is a comment about the element blah --> <xsd:attribute name="someAttribute"/> <xsd:attribute name="blahAttribute"/> <!-- This is a comment about the attribute blahAttribute under element blah --> </xsd:element> Let's focus on grabbing the comment block under attributes. In the simplistic XSL tranformation we have this: <xs:stylesheet exclude-result-prefixes="xsd" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0" xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xslt"> <xs:output indent="yes" xalan:indent-amount="3"/> <xs:template match="/">
<xs:element name="Repository">
<xs:element name="Elements">
<xs:apply-templates select="/*/*"/>
</xs:element>
</xs:element>
</xs:template><xs:template match="xsd:element[@name]"> <xs:element name="{@name}"> <xs:if test="string(@type)"> <xs:attribute name="type"> <xs:value-of select="@type"/> </xs:attribute> </xs:if> <xs:for-each select="*[name()='xsd:simpleType' or name()='xsd:complexType']"> <xs:apply-templates select="*"/> </xs:for-each> </xs:element> </xs:template> <xs:template match="xsd:attribute">
<xs:element name="attribute">
<xs:attribute name="name">
<xs:value-of select="@name"/>
</xs:attribute>
<xs:copy-of select="following-sibling::node()[1][self::comment()]"/>
</xs:element>
</xs:template><xs:template match="xsd:sequence|xsd:choice"> <xs:apply-templates select="*"/> </xs:template> <xs:template match="node()|@*"/> </xs:stylesheet> This works great. It grabs the comment block directly after an attribute. If it doesn't exist it doesn't process anything. The output will be this: <blah> <attribute name="someAttribute"/> <attribute name="blahAttribute"/> <!-- This is a comment about the attribute blahAttribute under element blah --> </blah> So, I take this simplistic stylesheet and make it more robust, more descriptive, added a few changes to the format, some more descriptive attributes, process complexTypes and extensions and so forth ... However, the comment grab doesn't work. ------ OHHH ... SOB!!! I figured it out! [40 minutes later] I'll leave the original message I was typing so others will understand the problem. Apparently, adding/removing this line <xsl:strip-space elements="xsd:complexType"/> makes the script work/not work. This doesn't make sense to me .. what does this have to do with processing comments?
