Here's one solution. I believe it will work on both
1.0 and 2.0, but I
tested only 2.0.
<xsl:template match="* | text()">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
Newbie question here--but why do you match on "* |
text()" instead of just matching on "/"? (I saw the
physical answer--by matching on the latter I got a lot
of strange white space--but I'm not sure why.)
<xsl:template match="
person[document[
not(@relid =
../../../documents/document/@id)]]">
<person name="{name}" />
</xsl:template>
It will output all persons that have at least one
not-matching @relid,
like this, for your input:
<person name="Chris" />
That's correct, but this is not exactly what I needed.
I wanted names of people who didn't have *any*
documents in the document list--Chris shouldn't appear
because he had one of his two documents there.
By removing the "not" in your XPATH above, that gave
me people who have at least one document in the
document list, useful but still not what I was looking
for.
I'll check the other responses to see if they will
help.
Your own code much resembles the way you may do it
in imperative
languages like Java, PHP, VB or C. However, using
templates, you can let
the processor do the math for you and you only have
to draw the rules.
I know -- I come from a Java background so that's how
my XSLT will currently look until I figure out how to
do things better!
