RE: working with xsl:comment

2005-06-24 04:42:49


Sorry, another query in quick succession but like earlier I might be 
missing something rather obvious.

I am writing some information within the <xsl:comment> tags. 
I want to 
later retreive this content in another .xsl file. How do I do 
it? Also 
can I retrieve the container node of this comment?

E.g <TD width="50%"><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="red">Checking for 
existence of 
'Wood'...</FONT>
               <!--Wood--></TD>

So how do I get the information 'Wood' as well as the position of the 
containing <TD> so that I can proceed to find other sibling 
<TD>s from 
this point?

Use the comment() function eg:

<xsl:template match="comment()">
  <xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

Which will output 'Wood'.  If you want <!--Wood--> then use copy-of
instead of value-of.

To select the TD that contains a comment just use a predicate eg:

<xsl:apply-templates select="TD[comment()]"/>
