Re: Getting Entity File Names

2003-10-23 14:27:15

There is a kicker - I thought of that also!  The files themselves don't
reference the DTD but they do contain ISO characters and not UNICODE
characters.  

I guess I could include the ISO character sets in my XSLT.  That would
probably be the quickest way to do it. It would also be easier if there
were only one title per file.  Somewhere in those files, there are 3 extra
titles.

Thanks!

Betty,

For this task I would start at the other end -- instead of getting the file 
name for each title, get the title for each file name.

Given a list of file names:

<list>
   <file>foo1.xml</file>
   <file>foo2.xml</file>
   <file>foo3.xml</file>
</list>

You can iterate over this list selecting each <file> element in turn; 
retrieve the title from the file using document(.)/pathtotitle.

There's the table for your reverse lookup from title to file name.

Cheers,

I am able to get a list of the titles without
a problem.  I want to build a table from the
titles and file name so I can create another
conversion on another group of documents have
have the titles embedded and link back to the
individual files which are well-formed.

I want to get a listing such as:

<filename>foo1.xml</filename> <title>This is a title</title>

I want to use this to put links into another document:

<p>... see <xref href="foo1.xml">This is a title</xref><p>

I am grabbing the entity filename and title as a way of
including links in another document (which I can change).

I actually did this once before with a file that had IDs and it was a
really simple process. I created an Omnimark script from the XSLT since
XSLT isn't the best 'search and replace' program. I was hoping to do the
same thing this time but without ID's it is proving difficult.
