Re: Making a lookup structure from multiple documents

Hi Rick,

I try to store data in a way that aligns best with how I later need to access
it (flat, lookups, etc.).

If an XSLT3 map would work, you could create an "on-no-match='shallow-skip'"
template mode that crawls the map and returns a flat sequence of map entries.

Subject:  Making a lookup structure from multiple documents

Hi All,

I have a ditamap that has references to child topics, and each child topic may
references to other topics. I need to collect the contents of three particular
elements, then then use them in a summary in one of the documents. Here is my
basic shell, where I am navigating through all of the referenced documents. I
also have a template for the items I am trying to collect (I can combine them
into a single template). I am looking for the best approach for making a
lookup of items that can be used later in the processing. Thank you.

Rick
