Hello Dimitre and all,
The algorithm works very well except for what I mentioned in the previous email
and it
was definetely my fault. I have contiguous text nodes with the description that
have the
same list structure, so the xhtml looks like this:
<html>
<hr/> Claims
<br/>
<br/> I claim:
<br/>
<br/> 1. blah blah
<br/>
<br/> more blah blah
<br/>
<br/> 2. blah blah blah
<br/>
<br/> more blah blah
<br/>
<br/> 3. blah blah
<br/>
<br/> more blah blah
<br/>
<br/> 4. blah blah blah
<br/>
<hr/> Description
<br/> This is the introduction to the description
<br/> 1. blah blah
<br/>
<br/> more blah blah
<br/>
<br/> 2. blah blah blah
</html>
So far what I have on the xslt is:
<xsl:key name="kStart"
match="text()[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::br]]"
use="contains(., '.')
and
number(substring-before(., '.'))
=
number(substring-before(., '.'))"/>
<xsl:key name="kTrail"
match="text()[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::br]]"
use="generate-id(
preceding-sibling::text()
[
contains(., '.')
and
number(substring-before(., '.'))
=
number(substring-before(., '.'))
]
[1]
)"/>
<xsl:template match="/html/body">
<xsl:element name="Claims">
<xsl:apply-templates
select="node()[preceding-sibling::text()[starts-with
(normalize-space(.), 'Claims')] and
following::text()[starts-with(normalize-space
(.), 'Description')]] " mode="claims"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template
match="node()[preceding-sibling::text()[starts-with(normalize-space
(.), 'Claims')] and following::text()[starts-with(normalize-space(.),
'Description')]] "
mode="claims">
<xsl:for-each select="key('kStart', 'true')">
<Claim>
<xsl:copy-of select="normalize-space()"/>
<xsl:variable name="vLastNumbered"
select="position() =
last()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="key('kTrail', generate-id())">
<xsl:if test="$vLastNumbered or not(position() =
last
())">
<xsl:copy-of
select="concat(substring(.,1,1),
normalize-space(substring(.,2)))"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</Claim>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
But in the xml output I'm getting the claims alraight except that in the last
claim I
get the fisrt text node of the description included and then starts the
description
list. I know it has to do with:
node()[preceding-sibling::text()[starts-with(normalize-space(.), 'Claims')] and
following::text()[starts-with(normalize-space(.), 'Description')]]
I thought this expression would select the text nodes between 'Claims' and
'Description'
only so I'm still puzzled why it selects nodes after the 'Description' text
node...
Thanks a lot for looking at this,
Lizet

Here's the corrected code (the key definitions are omitted as they are the
same:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:key name="kStart"
match="text()[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::br]]"
use="contains(., '.')
and
number(substring-before(., '.'))
=
number(substring-before(., '.'))"/>
<xsl:key name="kTrail"
match="text()[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::br]]"
use="generate-id(
preceding-sibling::text()
[
contains(., '.')
and
number(substring-before(., '.'))
=
number(substring-before(., '.'))
]
[1]
)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="key('kStart', 'true')">
<Claim>
<xsl:copy-of select="normalize-space()"/>
<xsl:variable name="vLastNumbered" select="position() = last()"/>
<xsl:for-each select="key('kTrail', generate-id())">
<xsl:if test="$vLastNumbered or not(position() = last())">
<xsl:copy-of
select="concat(substring(.,1,1),
normalize-space(substring(.,2))
)"/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
</Claim>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I believe that two very good books on XSLT are the following:
"Beginning XSLT" by Jeni Tennison
"XSLT Programmer's Reference" by Michael Kay.
