Hello,
I'm attempting to use XSLT (via PHP and Sablotron) to transform an XML music
list into XHTML. I have it mostly working, but have come across some more
complex issues that I'm unable to solve.
The XSL transforms an XML music list into nested XHTML lists, sorting the
output by albums. Problems arise when albums that have multiple artists are
encountered, as I am unable to correctly determine how to handle these.
Currently I'm outputting data as such:
Artist - Album_1
Song_1
Song_2
...
Artist - Album_2
Song_1
...
...
When I encounter an album by various artists, I'd like to handle it as below,
but was unable to figure out how to correctly do this:
"Various Artists" - Album_1
Artist - Song_1
Artist - Song-2
...
An example best explains what I'm trying to do. The current transformation can
be viewed at http://the-i.org/music-albums that also contains links to both the
XSLT style sheet and XML data. My problem is explained in more detail on that
page so I won't repeat it here.
One additional thing, if anyone's feeling particularly intelligent and helpful
- I would be interested to see how I'd sort my XML data into nested lists on
both artist and album, as such:
Artist_1
Album_1
Song_1
Song_2
...
Album_2
...
Artist_2
...
Thanks for any help.
