I have an extremely flat structure exported from Framemaker (not
structured). The elements are created from style names and the structure
is completely flat. Just about everything is a sibling of everything else.
I am transforming this flat structure to a proprietary content model (DTD). The entire project consists of a lot of group. Most of which I have a handle on. However there is aspect I could use some help with. I have an XML input structure that something like this: <XML>
<Warning>
</Warning>
<Graphic>
<IMAGE href="icon-30.gif"/>
</Graphic>
<WarnHazText>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
<WarnHazText>Wear eye</WarnHazText>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
<Warning>
</Warning>
<Graphic>
<IMAGE href="icon-30.gif"/>
</Graphic>
<WarnHazText>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
<WarnHazText>Wear eye</WarnHazText>
<HazText>CARC </HazText>
<HazText>ALWAYS follow /HazText>
<Note></Note>
<HazText>When using a torch</HazText>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
</XML>Or it could look like this: <XML>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
<Warning>
</Warning>
<Graphic>
<IMAGE href="icon-30.gif"/>
</Graphic>
<WarnHazText>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
<WarnHazText>Wear eye</WarnHazText>
<HazText>CARC </HazText>
<HazText>ALWAYS follow /HazText>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
</XML>I have templates for transforming the Warning and Note to the output structure, but my dilemma is how do I exclude the <HazText> elements from the <Warning> the precedes the <Note> when there is one.. I have to use "group-starting-with" because there is no way to know what element will follow the last <HazText> or <WarnHazText> of each Warning grouping. <xsl:template match="Warning"> <xsl:for-each-group select="following-sibling::HazText|following-sibling::WarnHazText" group-starting-with="Warning"> <warning> <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()" mode="WCN"/> </warning> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="Note"> <xsl:for-each-group select="following-sibling::HazText" group-starting-with="Note"> <note> <xsl:apply-templates select="current-group()" mode="WCN"/> </note> </xsl:for-each-group> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="HazText|WarnHazText" mode="WCN">
<trim.para>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/>
</trim.para>
</xsl:template><xsl:template match="ProcStep"> <step1> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::Warning | preceding-sibling::Caution | preceding-sibling::Note"> <specpara> <xsl:apply-templates select="preceding-sibling::Warning | preceding-sibling::Caution | preceding-sibling::Note""/> <para> <xsl:apply-templates/> </para> </specpara> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <para> <xsl:apply-templates/> </para> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </step1> </xsl:template> Another question that is similar to the first, is within the <ProcStep> how to only apply-templates for the immediately preceding Warning or Notes? It is possible that there can be multiple Warnings (groups) and/or Notes (groups) that immediately precede a given <ProcStep>. There can be multiple <ProcStep> elements and theoretically each of those can have any number of preceding Warning or Notes. And of course, everything is a sibling to everything else.
