Re: [xsl] Identity Transformation of XML for web display

2006-03-20 15:56:29
Karl,

This is not hard to do, either with literal spaces (non-breaking spaces) or with CSS when displaying HTML.

You looks like you're using CSS. If you're using a @class layer, it looks like the class of any particular div will be done like this:

<div class="indent_{count(ancestor-or-self::*)}">...</div>

which would result in class="indent_1" for an outermost div, "indent_2" for a div a level down, etc.

You could do the same thing with style="{count(ancestor::*) * 10}px"> and get your indents hard-coded that way: this would result in 0px, 10px, 20px etc from outermost in.

I hope that helps.

Cheers,
Wendell

Hello,

I'd like to create an identity tranformation that replaces "<" this
and ">" this to "&lgt;" and "&glt" for display of the XML document on
an HTML page.  I can handle this part, but would like help with the
spacing of the elements as they appear hierachely.  So example, how to
space:

into

<A>
   <B>
       <C/>
   </B>
</A>

you have to be very intuitive as to knowing at which depth you are in
your transformation to style this something like:


<div style="indent_3">&glt;C&glt;</div>

where style indent_3 is a margin of 20px for example.

Any help would be appreciated.
