Re: RE: Simple XML transformation advice needed

Hi Kenny,

yes, it works fine on the command line when using the Saxon parser. When I 
apply the stylesheet in my Java application using the Xerces parser 
(org.apache.xerces.jaxp) it gives me this error:

file:///E:/docos/transform.xsl; Line #8; Column #2; Cannot add attribute 
TextAlignment after child nodes or before an element is produced.  Attribute 
will be ignored.

I am pretty sure it is the Java parser that is causing the problem. So the 
question is, which parser implements the standard XSLT specification? If Xerces 
is a good standard parser, how can I modify my XSLT file to run with it?

Thanks again,

Peter

I'm not sure what the problem is.  I ran your code and got the output
you are looking for:

<ap:Text TextAlignment="urn:mindjet:Left" Dirty="0000000000000001">
      <PlainText>Motivation, research problem and hypothesis
9</PlainText>
      <ap:Font Color="ff000000"/>

Hello all,

I am a novice with XSLT and would appreciate any help in relation 
to a
little problem I am having.

I have written a simple transformation XSL program that trasforms 
an XML
document into a slightly different document, but I am having some
trouble getting it right.

More details and the code is below.

Thank you,

Peter

PROBLEM: 

What I am trying to get the template to do is to take something like
this as input:

<ap:Text TextAlignment="urn:mindjet:Left" Dirty="0000000000000001"
PlainText="Motivation, research problem and hypothesis 9">
<ap:Font Color="ff000000"/>


And produce this as output:

<ap:Text TextAlignment="urn:mindjet:Left" Dirty="0000000000000001">
<PlainText>Motivation, research problem and hypothesis 9</PlainText>
<ap:Font Color="ff000000"/>


Instead, it is producing this:

<ap:Text Dirty="0000000000000001">
<PlainText>Motivation, research problem and hypothesis 9</PlainText>
<ap:Font Color="ff000000"/>


In other words, I just want to take the PlainText attribute and 
create a
new element with it, not affecting any of the other attributes.

Here is the code:

---------------------
<!-- AttrToElement.xsl: Turn all attributes into subelements -->
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:cor="http://schemas.mindjet.com/MindManager/Core/2003";
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance";
xmlns:ap="http://schemas.mindjet.com/MindManager/Application/2003";
version="1.0"

<!-- Import the identity transformation. -->

<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:output indent="yes"/>

<!-- Match any Attribute and turn it into an element -->

<xsl:template match="ap:Text/@PlainText">
<xsl:element name="{name(.)}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:element>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:template match="//cor:Base64">
       <xsl:element name="{name(.)}">

               <xsl:attribute name="xsi:nil"><xsl:value-of
select="@xsi:nil" /></xsl:attribute>

               <xsl:attribute name="content"><xsl:value-of select="."
/></xsl:attribute>

</xsl:element>

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<!-- Copy the current node -->

<xsl:copy>
<!-- Including any attributes it has and any child nodes -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
