Hi,
Tempore 01:12:30, die 09/13/2005 AD, hinc in
xsl-list(_at_)lists(_dot_)mulberrytech(_dot_)com scripsit Matthew Fonda
<mfonda(_at_)enotes(_dot_)com>:
there are multiple div's in each document, but only the first one
contains an h1, and the I am trying to get the text of the p following
the h1, but before the br in the p, so
<p><i><b>Excerpt from </b></i><b>Journal of Theodore
Upson</b><br/><b>Written in April 1861; originally published in
1943</b></p>
would become
<p>Excerpt from Journal of Theodore Upson</p>
XSLT works with elements, not tags.
Here's one type of solution.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="div/p[preceding::*[1][self::h1]]">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" />
<xsl:if test="br">
<xsl:copy-of
select="br[1]/preceding-sibling::node()/descendant-or-self::text()"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(br)">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
regards,
