I have the following element definition (I've cut it down slightly for
reasons of space but the principle is clear):
<!ENTITY % simple "#PCDATA">
<!ENTITY % markup "em|sub|sup">
<!ENTITY % textcontent "%simple;|%markup;">
<!ENTITY % lists "define|list|ul|ol">
<!ENTITY % blockcontent "para|note|warning|table|img|%lists;">
<!ENTITY % complexcontent "%textcontent;|%blockcontent;">
<!ELEMENT answer (%complexcontent;)*>
I am writing an XSL transform to output HTML, and the template for <answer>
needs to take into consideration whether
a) all the children of answer are textcontent;
b) all the children of answer are blockcontent;
c) there is a mixture of textcontent and blockcontent children
So my first question is: how could I write these tests in XSL 1?
In the output HTML an <answer> element is going to generate a <div>, and
case (a) will require a <div><p>...</p></div>, while in case (b) a simple
<div>...</div> will suffice.
Case (c) is evidence of a poorly structured document, but the XML is defined
by/validated against a DTD not a schema and so I live with the possibility.
This will require my stylesheet to generate <div>...</div> while wrapping
any sequences of consecutive 'textcontent' children in a <p>...</p>.
That leads to the second question: is there a construct that will do this,
comprehensible by a bear with very little brain, again in XSL 1?
Thanks if you can help
Cheers
Trevor
