Thank you Michael. I think the problem is a
little more complicated to me and I will try to explain it.
The XML looks like this:
<ele1>
<step1><table></table></step1>
<graphic>URL for graphic</graphic>
<table>This is actually the CALS table model </table>
</ele1>
Now, I wanted to template match all elements
except graphic and so under ele1 i said
<xsl:apply-templates select=*(not[self::graphic])/> which worked just fine.
The next thing I wanted to do was to check if
the following sibling of graphic was table, and
if it was table, I wanted to display the table
just below the graphic. The "table" element can
appear anywhere in the XML, but only if it
appears after <graphic> I want it to display below graphic.
This will test the immediately following element is a table:
test="following-sibling::*[1][self::table}"
This <table> element follows the CALS table model.
So under <graphic> template I said
<xsl:if
test="following-sibling::table"><xsl:apply-templates
select="table" mode="test"/></xsl:if>
Your if is testing all following siblings named
"table" and your apply is acting on *children* elements named "table".
But since the CALS table has other elements like
tgroup, row, entry which have all templates,
when I say <xsl:template match "table"
mode="test"> this does not force <table> below <graphic>.
That isn't a match problem ... once you "gain
control" of a table you can do with it what you want.
How do I match <table> element which is in CALS
format? I even tried adding mode to all other elements under <table> like this:
<xsl:template match="tgroup" mode="test">
That would only work if you used the mode during the apply
Can anyone help me out here?
Perhaps you'll get what you want when you fix the
fact you were looking for children named table
instead of the immediately following sibling named table.
I hope this helps.
