Hi there,
I'm an intermediate user of XSLT. Usually I have no problems coming with a
solution. If I have, I would just go visit the FAQ. I have a situation where I
can't think of an elegant solution. Maybe I'm missing something.
I have 2 XSLT scripts; Script A transform an input XML file "forward" and
then I do work on the intermediate result. Finally, I feed the result to script
B which does post transformation (Don't ask me why, it is imposed on me :-).
This morning, I just realized that I need to transform an element into a
comment in script A and then reverse that in script B. For example,
<foo>
<bar>test</bar>
</foo>
becomes
<!--
<foo>
<bar>test</bar>
</foo>
-->
I think I know the tedious way of doing this: In script A, carefully recurse
through each element and append to a string and output that string to a
comment. In script B, I got to parse the comment string and recreate all the
elements and what-not.
Is there an easier way?
thanks, Ohmson
