I have the following problem that I've been staring at for too long now.
I'm sure the solution is a simple one, I just can't find it. I have the
following XML (simplified):
<root>
<page id="1">
<line id="1">
<word id="1">One</word>
<nospace/>
<word id="2">Two</word>
<word id="3">Three</word>
<nospace/>
<word id="4">Four</word>
<word id="5">Five</word>
</line>
</page>
</root>
What I want to do is to present the contents of the line; where a word
is *not* preceded by a <nospace/> tag, I want to put a space, where it
*is* preceded by a <nospace/> tag, I want to display an underscore. In
other words, I'm looking for a way to find the *immediate* preceding
<nospace/> tag to a <word>-tag. The result should look like this:
One_Two Three_Four Five
I can't get the XPath right by using preceding-sibling::nospace. I'm
using MSMXL and my XSLT looks like this (and I have to stick to the
nested templates):
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<table border="0">
<xsl:apply-templates select="root/page"/>
</table>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="page">
[page <xsl:value-of select="@id"/>]
<br/>
<br/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="line">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
<xsl:text> </xsl:text>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="word">
-->???<--
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
Has anyone got any idea how to accomplish getting the XPath right? Much
appreciated.
