I have a xml structure. Within that structure there is an html document
(/page/document/html/body)
I want to change the img and href tags inside /page/document/html/body in
order to make the links work properly. I also need to remove a header and
footer from the html document.
The XML input file looks like this:
<body>
<div class="theDocumentHeaderNavBars">
. . . Some tables that must be deleted . . .
</div>
<div>
. . . this is the html document . . .
</div>
<div class="theDocumentFooterNavBars">
. . . Some tables that must be deleted . . .
</div>
I have written templates: for img and a tags. They are similar so I just put
the img template here:
<xsl:template match="img">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="src">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="starts-with(@src,'./')"> <!-- if 'src' attribute has
relative value -->
<xsl:value-of
select="concat(/page/@dataRelRoot,/page/currentItem/@itemFullPath,substring(@src,2))"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="starts-with(@src,'http://')"> <!-- if 'src' attribute
has absolute value -->
<xsl:value-of select="@src"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of
select="concat(/page/@dataRelRoot,/page/currentItem/@itemFullPath,'/',@src)"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
The img template works, and replaces the src attribute.
I have written a template for the div tag. I?m just printing a text when top
and footer div tags are processed.
<xsl:template match="div">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@class = 'theDocumentHeaderNavBars' or @class =
'theDocumentFooterNavBars' ">drop the Top or Bottom headers
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<!-- <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*|processing-instruction()"/> -->
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
But, how to start the transformation?
I have tried to start the transformation, but I do not get the result I
want.
<!-- this creates rubbish - just copies the text no tags for tables and so
on
<xsl:template match="/page/document/html/body">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
-->
<!-- This works, but it process the whole xml input file. And is it fast
enough?
<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
-->
I hope that you can help me with a basic xslt question.
Thanks
Terje Chr.
