Hi David,
I have a source document that is currently being
generated from an Oracle database - it is effectively
a table dump in xml format of the "scope" table.. It
has the following structure.
<snip />
I think, the best way to go about this is something like:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<xsl:template match="scopes">
<!-- apply templates on all scope elements
with parent_id '0' -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="scope[(_at_)parent_id='0']" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="scope">
<!-- create a var to hold the current scope's id -->
<xsl:variable name="vId" select="@id" />
<xsl:copy>
<!-- copy attributes -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
<scopes>
<!-- now apply templates on all scope elements
with parent_id equal to current id -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="//scope[(_at_)parent_id=$vId]" />
</scopes>
</xsl:template>
Caution: this solution would create empty 'scopes' elements when there are
no 'scope' elements that satisfy the condition '@parent_id=$vId'. You could
test for this with an xsl:if first.
Hope this helps!
Cheers,
Andreas
