Hi! Stlusstudio is doing a wonderful job.Hats-off to the SSDN team.I have this problem to solve.

(1)Consider the following xml doc:-

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1' standalone='no'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="recipe2html.xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE recipe SYSTEM "recipe.dtd">
<recipe name="Meat loaf" type="Hot meal" serving-size="4 people">
<ingredients>
<ingredient count="500g">Minced beef</ingredient>
<ingredient count="1">Onion</ingredient>
<ingredient count="lots">Assorted spices</ingredient>
</ingredients>
<instructions>
<step>If the meat is in the freezer, take it out to thaw out.</step>
<step>Set oven to 175 degrees Celcius.</step>
<step>Chop onion finely.</step>
<step>Mix chopped onion with minced meat and place in oven-save container.</step>
<step>Place container in oven and bake until done.</step>
</instructions>
</recipe>
(2)Now I am required to make an xsl stylesheet(recipe2html.xsl)from this xml so that the quantities of ingredients are copied(i.e., in the number attribute in the xml file).All relevant fields in the recipe.xml file should be transferred to the new xml file generated.Relevent field refers to those fields necessary to use the recipe. Most importanly,DO NOT ASSUME A SPECIFIC NUMBER OF INGREDIENTS, THE FILE MUST HANDLE ANY NUMBER.The new xml file generated by the stylesheet should be validatable with the dtd provided below:-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<!ELEMENT shopping-list (grocery*) >

<!ELEMENT grocery (#PCDATA) >
<!ATTLIST grocery
number CDATA #REQUIRED >

Hi,
you can use the XSLT mapper to perform the mappings; create a new XSLT, associate your source XML to the scenario, switch to the mapper view, load the DTD in the target schema tree, drag a link between the "ingredient" node in the source schema tree and the "grocery" node in the right schema tree, then drag the same nodes again (the first created the loop, the second link carries the data), then drag another one from the "count" attribute to the "number" attribute and you are done.

Hi! Mr. Alberto.Thanks but how to do this:"drag the same nodes again (the first created the loop, the second link carries the data)". I am missing something here as I only get this and not all the values follow.Could you paste your xsl here.Thanks

Thats what I get:-<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<shopping-list><grocery number="500g">Minced beef</grocery></shopping-list>

Hi,
an alternative way to create the two links is by clicking on the right button of the mouse to create the link (place the mouse over the "ingredient" element in the source tree, click and keep pressed the right mouse button, drag until you reach the "grocery" element in the target schema tree, release the button) then select "Create Repeatable Value Link" from the popup menu.

Hope this helps,
Alberto

Hi,
what is the exact version (including build number) of the Stylus Studio copy you have? (you can find it in the About box)

Thanks,
Alberto

This is the XSLT generated by mapper:

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<shopping-list>
<xsl:for-each select="recipe/ingredients/ingredient">
<grocery>
<xsl:attribute name="number">
<xsl:value-of select="@count"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</grocery>
</xsl:for-each>
</shopping-list>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

However, I would suggest you to switch to the Mapper tab and learn how to use the interface, as learning how to use the tool is much more useful than simply copying and pasting a small snippet of code.

Hi,
unfortunately I don't have a copy of Stylus 5.1 around (the oldest version I can test is Stylus Studio 2006 Release 3); I would suggest you to update your copy to the latest Stylus Studio 2008 and benefit from over 3 years of improvements in both functionalities and usability.
