Re: [xsl] Writing conditional statement based on attribute

2007-02-06 08:09:06
sure, sorry, more complete example:

<dsc type="combined">

<c01
level="series"><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent>

<c02
level="subseries"><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent>

<c03
level="file"><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent></c03>

<c03><did><unittitle><unitdate></unitdate></unittitle><physdesc></physdesc></did>
<arrangement.</arrangement><scopecontent><p></p></scopecontent></c03></c02></c01></dsc>

again, I am trying to format scopecontent one way where @level="series" or
"subseries" and another where @level="file" or there is no attribute level.

thanks again,
lynn

I am trying to write a conditional statement based on an attribute:

The XML doc will have either @level=series, subseries, file, item, or no
attribute.

I would like the output to be in <p> with default font where
@level="series" | @level="subseries"

and  <font size="-1" color="gray"> where there is file, item or no level
attribute. In other words anything but series or subseries.

Here are two examples of XML:

scopecontent is the element i am trying to format. parent element is dsc.

<c01 level="series">
<did>
<container type="folder" label="Folder"> 15</container>
<unittitle><unitdate>1932</unitdate></unittitle>
</did>
<scopecontent>
<p> Includes letters regarding Lee Strasberg's health. </p>
</scopecontent>


<c04>
<did>
<container type="folder" label="Folder"> 15</container>
<unittitle><unitdate>1932</unitdate></unittitle>
</did>
<scopecontent>
<p> Includes letters regarding Lee Strasberg's health. </p>
</scopecontent>
</c04>

I tried the following with no luck:

<xsl:template match='dsc//scopecontent'>
<xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test='* [(_at_)level="series"] |
                  * [(_at_)level="subseries"]'>
            <p>
                  <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </p>

      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
            <font size="-1" color="gray">
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
            </font>
      </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

You match is saying find all scopecontent elements in dsc. Your if
statement is wrong on two counts (I think). Firstly, I think the syntax
is wrong, I think you mean 'node()[(_at_)level="series"] or node [(_at_)level =
"subseries"]' but this is incorrect as you are searching for @level in
scopecontent. You should be looking in c01, c04, etc...
Also:

<xsl:template match='* [(_at_)level="series"]//scopecontent |
             * [(_at_)level="subseries"]//scopecontent'>
      <p>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </p>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match='* [not (@level="series")]//scopecontent |
             * [not (@level="subseries")]//scopecontent'>
      <font size="-1" color="gray">
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </font>
</xsl:template>

Thanks for the help.

Can you give a more complete and correct example? From what you have
given us, you should not be matching on scopecontent first, but on c0x
where x is a number. We need to know more about these c0x elements. How
many are there, do they follow a pattern? are there any other sort of
elements in dsc? is there a b0x element?.
