I'm trying to create a nice table of contents from multiple XML
files. Cruising through the FAQ, I ran across the idea of using
filelist.xml
<documents>
<doc href="105_imp.xml"/>
<doc href="110_vc.xml"/>
<doc href="115_his.xml"/>
</documents>
table_of_contents.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>
<xsl:variable name="documents" select="document(/documents/doc/@href)"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="$documents">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Title|Table/Title">
<p>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(name($documents),'.xml')"/>.html#<xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</a>
</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Current output fragment
<p><a href=".html#About">About</a></p>
<p><a href=".html#Message">Message</a></p>
So this is really close to doing what I hope for but I'd like to find out
if it is possible to get
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($documents,'.xml')"/>
to reliably give me the href of the document that I'm processing in the
for-each loop. Doesn't look like it should be difficult but it is stumping me.
