Using this XML data:
<menudata>
<menu name="link1"/>
<menu name="link2">
<menu name="link2a"/>
<menu name="link2b"/>
</menu>
</menudata>
I am producing this HTML output:
<ul>
<li>link1</li>
<li>link2
<ul>
<li>link2a</li>
<li>link2b</li>
</ul>
</li>
</ul>
I am using a convoluted stylesheet that tokenizes an
attribute and generates the HTML output based on the
attribute's value. My problem is identifying the last
nested node, in this example "link2b", so that I can
customize that node's output.
My complete stylesheet is below, but to summarize I
made two attempts:
<xsl:for-each select="ancestor::menu">
<xsl:if test="position()=last()">
<xsl:text>Write custom end text here</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
and
<xsl:if test="ancestor::menu[last()]">
<xsl:text>Write custom end tag here</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
Both attempts wrote to each individual node, not just
the last one. How can I tell my stylesheet to write
one thing for the last <menu> node, and something else
for the rest?
Here's the entire stylesheet:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>
<!-- siteID determines if a link is displayed for a
specific cobrand -->
<xsl:param name="siteID" select="2"/>
<!-- Displays navigation -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<ul>
<!-- tokenize all <menu> nodes -->
<xsl:for-each select="//menu">
<!-- Tokenize attributes to check if siteID is
excluded -->
<xsl:call-template name="tokenize">

</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:template>
<!-- Extract individual values from comma-delimited
