There are some advanced aspects of XSLT that I just don't seem to "get."
I'm really struggling with what some of you may consider a simple
problem. I can seem to find a way to match part of the following
instance. I've tested the following XPath statements with Oxygen and get
the results I want. Somehow I can't seem to translate that into a
template match.
Wendell, you've been a great help to my previous questions, I hope you're not disappointed in me as a former student. Unfortunately, a full year has passed since a requirement has developed for me to put the XSLT coursework into a real world exercise. My problem: I need to match all the following sibling elements of the last <section> (in this case two <p> element and a <ul>) and create a new sibling <section> with the current following siblings as children of the new <section>. I have tried: conbody/section[last()]/following-sibling::* (XPath returns the correct result, but not valid as a template match) <xsl:template match="//conbody/section[last()]/p"/> Again, the XPath test gives me the expected result, but doesn't seem to match in a tempate <xsl:template match="//conbody/section[last()]/ul"/> Same as previous. I think I can create a template to match the following siblings of the last <section>, I can use a For Each to create the new section? Am I on the right track ? I'm unclear as to how to create new high level elements in which I need to nest EXISTING elements. I appreciate any solutions, but I would also like to understand the parts of this I seem to "get."
