Re: Translating roman numerals into integers with XSLT 2.0

You could try something like this -

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";      

xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";           
xmlns:num="http://whatever"; version="2.0" >
    
<xsl:output method="text"/>
    
<xsl:variable name="max" select="10000" />
    
<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:call-template name="RomanToInteger">
    <xsl:with-param name="roman_number" select="'XXI'"
/>        
  </xsl:call-template>        
</xsl:template>
    
<xsl:template name="RomanToInteger">
  <xsl:param name="roman_number" />
  <xsl:for-each select="1 to $max">
    <xsl:if test="num:toRoman(.) = $roman_number">
      <xsl:value-of select="." />
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
    
<xsl:function name="num:toRoman" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:param name="value" as="xs:integer"/>
  <xsl:number value="$value" format="I"/>
</xsl:function>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The above XSL assumes, that there is some maximum
value of the number(in this example 10000).

I see this as an area of improvement..

Is there a way to break from xsl:for-each loop when
some condition is met?
here , xsl:if test="num:toRoman(.) = $roman_number"

Mukul

Hi again,

Sorry, for bothering you a second time today, 
but I was wondering if there is a more or less
simple way
of translating roman numerals into intergers with
XSLT 2.0.

Or do I have to use the standard method for doing
this 
describes in the "XSLT Cookbook" by Sal Mangano?

Would be nice if format-number() or anything similar
would allow
me to o this...

Thank you very much for your patience.

wbr,

Betreff: RE: [xsl] Omitting default namespace in
the output - XSLT 2.0

If you copy elements using xsl:copy-of, the output
elements 
will have the same names as the input elements,
and the 
system will automatically add declarations of the
namespaces 
used in these names. You want your output elements
to have a 
different name from the input elements (same local
name, 
different URI). So you can't use copy-of.

To copy a tree while renaming elements, use a
modified form 
of the identity template rule:

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:element name="{local-name()}">
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

Subject: [xsl] Omitting default namespace in the
output - XSLT 2.0

Hi,

Given an example input like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <norm 
xmlns="myDefaultNamespace">
  <table>
          <row>
                  <cell>My Table</cell>
          </row>
  </table>
</norm>

I searched for an easy way to get output data,
which is not 
associated 
to my default namespace any more, with the help
of <xsl:copy-of> in 
XSLT 2.0 I hoped that the attribute
"copy-namespaces" set to "no" 
would help me here, but unfortunately I had no
luck with Saxon 8.1.1

My output still looks like

<table>
  <row xmlns="myDefaultNamespace">
          <cell>My Table</cell>
  </row>
</table>


XSLT:
=====

  <xsl:template match="ln:table">
          <table>
                  <xsl:copy-of select="node() | @*"
copy-namespaces="no"/>
          </table>
  </xsl:template>


Thanks in advance for your input!

wbr,
Roman
