How to write
title?, varlistentry+
in XPath?
It's pattern actually
sure :)
What about simple
<t:template match="variablelist[varlistentry]">
But this by far is not an equivalent of what I described. It is
insufficient.
Or more strict
<t:template match="variablelist[*[1][self::title] and
*[2][self::varlistentry] | variablelist[*[1][self::varlistentry]">
... and this is too complex and too long for my taste.
But it looks too convolute,
Exactly.
patterns are supposed to be simple,
Exactly! :)
why do you need so strict matching?
Why? Well, it's very common in my (and in many others I would think)
transformation to say thinks like "All variablelist elements containing
nothing but an optional element title followed by one or more
varlistentry elements are translated to simple dl(dt,dd)+ lists".
In any case:
I think that very simple things like contains(title?, varlistentry+)
should be very simple to express in XPath.
If I'm still not missigng something obvious:
Perhaps something like a content-model() function will be available as
extension or in XSLT2?
