Hi all,
Can't seem to wrap my head around a starting point. I apologize for asking,
because it feels like a solution should be obvious to this one, but I'm
drawing a blank.
More or less an identity transform on docA, execpt where I find and element
name match in doc B. In that case, element &/or att values from docB
overwrite their counterparts in docA.
I haven't seem sample xml yet, but I'm told the docs will be both mostly
flat and extremely similar, so I'm working on the following "guess sample":
[docA.xml]
<docA>
<a><a/>
<b>fred</b>
<c att="value1"/>
<e> <-- no "override" in docB, so it comes forward into the result
</docA>
[docB.xml]
<docB>
<a/> <-- no need to change docA
<b>ethel</b> <-- "fred" in docA would have to be changed to "ethel"
<c att="value2"/> <-- "value1" in docA has to become "value2"
<d att="foo"> doesn't match </d> <-- dropped on floor, no element name
match
</docB>
I checked Dave Pawson's great FAQ, but couldn't seem to adapt any example.
XSLT 1 or 2 is just fine; using saxon 8.9.
Thanks,
Edmund
