Hello List,
I'm perfomring an XML to XML transformation. Therefore I m using a template
by Michael Kay's book "XSLT 2nd Edition" page 194.
<xsl:template match="@*|node()" mode="copy">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="copy"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
So far everythings works pretty fine.
But since I'm doing a lille bit more than just copying nodes I need to know
the position if the parents node of the current node in its parent node.
Xpath's like this "parent::position()" dont'nt work.
The only way I can think of a solution is to pass the position by a
parameter.
<xsl:template match="@*|node()" mode="copy">
<xsl:param name="parentsPos"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="copy"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy">
<xsl:with-param name="parentsPos" select="position()"/>
</xsl:apply-template>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
But this does'nt look that smart to me. The only parants position I ever
going to know by this is the position of a direct parent of a node.
Is there a better way?
thanks & with best regards,
Jan
