Hello Susan,
<sw:stop>
<word>the</word>
<word>a</word>
<word>an</word>
</sw:stop>
<xsl:variable name="stop-words"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/sw:stop/word"/>
I didn't know this was possible? Selecting elements from the stylesheet by
using document('')
Anyway, it didn't work for me... so I put the stop-words in a separate file and
used
"document('stop-words.xml')/stop/word" instead; that worked.
(I also corrected the "uppercase" variable: the last 4 chars are missing)
Then, after some experimenting, I succeeded in sorting twice, with empty titles
included,
simply by omitting [text()!=''] from your first for-each select. Like this:
<xsl:for-each select="//section-02/title"> <!-- removed [text()!=''] -->
<xsl:sort select="concat(substring(substring-after(.,' '), 0 div boolean
($stop-words[starts-with(translate(current(), $uppercase, $lowercase),
concat(translate(., $uppercase, $lowercase), ' '))])), substring(., 0 div
not
($stop-words[starts-with(translate(current(), $uppercase, $lowercase),
concat(translate(., $uppercase, $lowercase), ' '))])))"/>
<xsl:sort select="number(concat(substring(../arrival-date, 7,4),
substring(../arrival-date, 1,2), substring(../arrival-date, 4,2)))"
order="descending"/>
<!-- added ../ -->
<tr>
<td width="10%"><xsl:value-of select="../doc-number"/></td>
<td width="30%"><xsl:value-of select="../title" /></td>
<td width="10%"><xsl:value-of select="../isbn-issn"/></td>
<td width="20%"><xsl:value-of select="../imprint"/></td>
<td width="20%"><xsl:value-of select="../description"/></td>
<td width="10%"><xsl:value-of select="../arrival-date"/></td>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
You were really close, I guess... I hope I didn't miss something, but I think
it works now
Best regards,
Anton Triest
