Hi,
I'm a relative newbie with XSLT but have got about 90% of a conversion
task taking XHTML describing table information to relational XML ready
for a database. My problem is this, each row of the HTML table has
varying number of columns, and I want to wrap certain rows of data in a
new output element. Basically I'd like to cycle through table <tr> tags,
check if the first child <td> tag of each row has a rowspan value of 2
or 5, and if so wrap the translated output from that row, and every row
following it, with my new tags *until* I encounter a row with that
row-span value again.
I've tried something like this (which XSLT doesn't seem to like):
<xsl:template match="table">
<xsl:for-each-group select="tr"
group-starting-with="td/@colspan=5">
<xsl:value-of select="current-group()" />
</xsl:for-each-group>
</xsl:template>
Is it possible to create groups using a path to a nested node and an
explicit evaluation? Also once I have these groups, what basic structure
should I use to parse the contents of each group. I've already written
code which successfully translates the values of <td> tags in the
<table> but to date I haven't need to use grouping.
Any help greatly appreciated. I'm using XSLT 2.0 with the Saxon 8.1B
processor.
Cheers,
Matt
