Hey everyone,
I have a problem within an xslt i'm writing that i just can't figure out how to solve. I think i have to use either some kind of grouping or work with preceding-sibling or following-sibling, maybe even both combined together. It has to be done in xslt version 1.0 which (for as much as i have read on it) seems to be more complicated on itself as far as groupings and such go. Here is a small description together with some samples. The XML follows a structure like the following ( i have replaced the original text for 'textcontent' and 'bullet' otherwise it would get too long a mail): <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <ArticleContent> <Frame Label="BroodTekst"> <Paragraph Pstyle="Tussenkop"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">textcontent</Text> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]"/> </Paragraph> <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstInitiaal"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">textcontent</Text> </Paragraph> <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstBullet"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">bullet1</Text> </Paragraph> <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstBullet"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">bullet2</Text> </Paragraph> <Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">textcontent</Text> </Paragraph> <Paragraph Pstyle="Plattetekst"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">textcontent</Text> </Paragraph> <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstBullet"> <Text Cstyle="[No character style]">bullet3</Text> </Paragraph> </Frame> </ArticleContent> This needs to be converted to another XML file that has the following structure: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <section role="broodtekst"> <title role="tussenkop">textcontent</title> <para role="plattetekstinitiaal">textcontent</para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para role="plattetekstbullet">bullet1</para> </listitem> <listitem> <para role="plattetekstbullet">bullet2</para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> <para role="plattetekst">textcontent</para> <para role="plattetekst">textcontent</para> <itemizedlist> <listitem> <para role="plattetekstbullet">bullet3</para> </listitem> </itemizedlist> </frame> Now my problem is with the original tags <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstBullet"> these need to be grouped together in the new tag <itemizedlist>, but the structure within the story needs to stay intact. So when another <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstBullet"> appears that is not preceded or followed by the same <Paragraph Pstyle="PlattetekstBullet"> tag they need to be grouped as well separately. I can provide the XSLT i have sofar if needed, but it's a fairly long one and it might clutter the issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated and would make my x-mas. Regards, Casper Voortman
