Subject: RE: [xsl] Regarding xsl transformation to xml tree
I am in a quandary. I have a huge xml tree that has the
following structure-
Firstly, this is a bad XML design. Mixed content should not normally be used
for data-oriented XML. It would be much better to use:
<plant species="maple">
<type>tree</tree>
<height>tall</height>
</plant>
or
<plant>
<species>maple</species>
<type>tree</tree>
<height>tall</height>
</plant>
But if you can't change it, then use
<xsl:template match="plant">
<tr><td><value-of select="normalize-space(text())"/></td></tr>
</xsl:template>
to extract the child text node without getting all the descendant text
nodes.

<all_plants>
<plant> maple
<type>tree</tree>
<height>tall</height>
</plant>
<plant> dandelion
<type>weed</tree>
<height>short</height>
</plant>
<plant> sage
<type>herb</tree>
<height>short</height>
</plant>
</all_plants>
I need the xsl that would give me a result as:
Maple
Dandelion
Sage
Here is the XSL transform I am using
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="all_plants">
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="all_plants">
<table>
<xsl:apply-templates select="plant">
</table>
</xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:template match="plant">
<tr><td><value-of select="."/></td></tr>
</xsl:template>
....let me know what I am doing wrong!!
Is there any other way I can do this?????
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Regards,
DC
