Hello,
Although the XML is not hierarchical there is a hierarchy required in
output ie
HEADER
LINES
TOTAL
In my current understanding of your problem I think you are trying to
aggregate the <LINE> nodes that directly follow a <HEADER> node into one
<LINES> node.
<HEADER />
<LINES>
<LINE />
<LINE />
</LINES>
<TOTAL />
This is possible with recursive templates.
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="REPORT">
<REPORT>
<xsl:apply-templates select="HEADER | TOTAL" />
</REPORT>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="HEADER">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
<LINES>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::LINE]"
mode="more2come"/>
</LINES>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="TOTAL" >
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="LINE" mode="more2come">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::*[1][self::LINE]"
mode="more2come" />
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
OUTPUT (stylesheet applied to the given sample input)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<REPORT>
<HEADER/>
<LINES>
<LINE/>
</LINES>
<TOTAL/>
<HEADER/>
<LINES>
<LINE/>
</LINES>
<TOTAL/>
<HEADER/>
<LINES>
<LINE/>
<LINE/>
<LINE/>
</LINES>
<TOTAL/>
</REPORT>
