RE: [xsl] XSL questions

Thanks all for your information.

I might not make my questions clear. Please see the below.


There are others far more qualified than I, but perhaps this will help you
get started.

1) HTML are valid xml tags so I don't know why you cannot have them inside
an xml document.  The following should be possible:

<myxmltag>
      <html>
              <body></body>
      </html>
</myxmltag>

I don't understand what you mean by a "par field", so perhaps this has
something to do with your problem.  Perhaps if you show the xml and xsl we
could be of more help.


I have a element definited in a DTD file as 

<!ELEMENT Para (#PCDATA | Emphasis)*>

I need to the content of the element contains the html list tags, eg. 
<ul><LI>first</LI><LI>second</LI></ul>.

XMLSpy says that is invalid since the parent elements' content disallow element 
ul. 

2) XSLT does not have a variable that can be incremented (as far as I know)
within a loop.  Variables in XSLT are more like constants, so once set,
their value cannot be changed.   I think you will have to get your count
like "count(nodetest)" outside of a loop which should not be a problem since
if you can select the nodes and loop through them, count should also work
for the same node set.


The position function doesn't work for my need. It returns the total number of 
elements. 

I have tried to use the count on an element/attribute. I don't know why it 
always returns one. Here is the code segment:

                                <xsl:for-each 
select="BaseballInfo/TeamList/Team">
                                                <xsl:sort 
select="GameRecord/@points" order="descending"/>
                                                <xsl:if test="@region = 
'south'">
                                                        <xsl:choose>
                                                                <xsl:when 
test="count(@id) mod 2 > 0">
        <xsl:value-of select="count(@id)"/>
                                                                </xsl:when>
                                                                <xsl:otherwise>
                                                        
                                        <xsl:value-of select="count(@id)"/>     
                                </xsl:otherwise>
                                                        </xsl:choose>
                                                </xsl:if>
                                        </xsl:for-each>

3) I'm not exactly sure what you mean here, but if you enter the
xsl:for-each loop, then the condition has been met.  What else do you need
to know about the condition?


Here is the code segment:

                                <xsl:for-each select=" ...">
                                        <xsl:if test="$current_id = 
@relatedPerson">
                
                                        </xsl:if>
                                </xsl:for-each>

After this loop, I need to know whether there is an element met the condition 
or not, that is a condition check right after the loop.

I am not sure how to use the [condition] in this case.


Thanks again for all your helps.

Subject: [xsl] XSL questions


I am very new to XSL. Here are my XSL questions.


1) how to embed html tags in a XML which will be processed by XSL?

The XMLSpy doesn't let me add html tags into a par field. I let the CDATA
hold the tags, but the section data won't get parsed.

2) Counter inside of xsl:for-each

With the xsl:choose tag inside of xsl:for-each tag, I need to count the
number of nodes met the condition. How to set up the counter?

3) Flag inside of xsl:for-each

With the xsl:if tag inside of xsl:for-each tag, I need to know whether a
node met the condition by the end of the loop. How to set up the flag
variable?

Thanks for any information in advance.
