hi,
I am quite beginner when it comes to XML and related technologies, and
I hope someone will give me an explaination on how to solve the
following problem.
I use an XML file to organize a website:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<Site Title="My Site">
<Document MIMEType="text/html" Filename="Default.aspx"
Title="Homepage" Description="This is where it all began">
<Document MIMEType="text/html" Filename="Subpage.aspx"
Title="Subpage" Description="This is where it continued">
<Document MIMEType="text/html"
Filename="SubSubpage.aspx"
Title="SubSubpage" Description="Now there is so much more" />
<Document MIMEType="text/html"
Filename="SubSubpage2.aspx"
Title="SubSubpage2" Description="Now there is so much more,too">
<Document MIMEType="text/html"
Filename="SubSubSubpage.aspx"
Title="SubSubpage2" Description="Now there is so much more,too" />
</Document>
<Document MIMEType="image/jpeg"
Filename="Beautiful.jpeg" Title="A
beautiful Picture" Description="It shows pure beauty" />
</Document>
<Document MIMEType="text/html" Filename="Subpage2.aspx"
Title="Subpage2" Description="This is where it continued" />
<Document MIMEType="text/html" Filename="AnotherPage.htm"
Title="Another Page" Description="" />
</Document>
</Site>
then I use this xsl stylesheet to convert it to html
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<ol>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</ol>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Document">
<li>
<a href="{(_at_)Filename}" title="{(_at_)Description}">
<xsl:value-of select="@Title" />
</a>
<xsl:if test="node()">
<ol>
<xsl:for-each select="Document">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>
</ol>
</xsl:if>
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Somehow the recursion stops somewhere unexpected (for me). It shows like:
<html>
<body>
<ol>
<li>
<a href="Default.aspx" title="This is where it all began">Homepage</a>
<ol>
<li>
<a href="SubSubpage.aspx" title="Now there is so much
more">SubSubpage</a>
</li>
<li>
<a href="SubSubpage2.aspx" title="Now there is so much
more,too">SubSubpage2</a>
<ol>
</ol>
</li>
<li>
<a href="Beautiful.jpeg" title="It shows pure beauty">A
beautiful Picture</a>
</li>
</ol>
</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>
So obviously it does not actually recurse, it seems, whenever it
enters a deeper level, the parent's following silblings are left out.
But I can not find why this is so. Help?
