First, convert the XML to a "normalized" form in which all the
properties are explicitly marked up, rather than packing several things
together in one attribute. Then it shouldn't be too difficult to
organize things as you want using conventional sorting and grouping
techniques.

Subject: [xsl] xsl for parsing strange xml
Hello,
I need help in parsing an xml file generated for java classes
and interfaces. Suppose I have a class like Car, and say Car
implements Vehicle interface.
interface Vehicle{
getIdentification();
}
class Car implements Vehicle
{
getName();
getIdenitifcation();
}
XML is of the form :
<member name="T:Car">
<summary>
It's a car class.
</summary>
</member>
<member name="T:Vehicle">
<summary>
It's a vehicle interface.
</summary>
</member>
<member name="M:Vehicle.getIdentification">
<summary>
Identification of the vehicle.
</summary>
</member>
<member name="M:Car.getName">
<summary>
Name of the Car.
</summary>
</member>
<member name="M:Car.getIdentification">
<summary>
Name of the Car.
</summary>
</member>
Note that in xml M: stands for method, and T: stands for Type.
Do you see that interface Vehicle information comes in
between Car? Because of this html is messed up.
How do I tackle this scenario to show html for Vehicle and
Car separately? I am using xsl to parse the xml and use <div>
tags to group things by class i.e. Class with its methods
should be inside a <div>, interface and its methods should be
in a separate <div>. I would really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Aparna
