The problem I have is in merging multiple xsl files into a single file,
USING ANOTHER XSL file. Basically, we have dozens of xsl files with
<xsl:include>, to include common things that are kept in files like
header.xsl, footer.xsl etc.
Example (trimmed minimal sample code) - Pls ignore any spell or
upper/lower case typo errors.
a) mainFile.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:include href="qmFooter.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="mResponse">
<xsl:if test="$doctype"><xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><!DOCTYPE </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="$doctype"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
></xsl:text></xsl:if>
<html>
<head>..... </head>
<body>
<!-- so many blah blah statements -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:call-template name="qmFooter"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
b) qmFooter.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:template name="qmFooter">
<div class="qm_FOOTNOTE"><xsl:value-of
select="./header/licenseText"/></div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Due to a speacial need we have had to make another SINGLE file merging
the <include>d files into main file. So, instead of merging physically,
made another xslt to do this process, using XMLSPY -> xslTransformation
c) Tranformation.xsl (actual code)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:template>
<!-- the default copying process - match every node whether it
is an element or an attribute -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="name() = 'xsl:include'">
<xsl:variable name="includeFile"
select="@href"/>
<xsl:comment>
**********************************************************************
Content of file <xsl:value-of select="$includeFile"/>
**********************************************************************
</xsl:comment>
<xsl:variable name="includeContent"
select="document($includeFile)"/>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="$includeContent/xsl:stylesheet/*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
This do the merging, but adds an <xsl:include> node on the output as
shown below
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="1.0">
<!--
**********************************************************************
Content of file qmFooter.xsl
**********************************************************************
-->
<xsl:include>
<!-- I NEED TO AVOID THIS xsl:include HERE. also, pls tell me:
1. WHY AND HOW THIS NODE GETS ADDED HERE
2. What change is required in Tranformation.xsl to
eliminate this.
-->
<xsl:template name="qmFooter">
<div class="qm_FOOTNOTE"><xsl:value-of
select="./header/licenseText"/></div>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:include>
<xsl:template match="mResponse">
<xsl:if test="$doctype">
<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><!DOCTYPE </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$doctype"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
></xsl:text>
</xsl:if>
<html>
<head>..... </head>
<body>
<!-- so many blah blah statements -->
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<xsl:call-template name="qmFooter"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
3) Also noticed, any opening and closing CDATA tag getting ignored
<![CDATA[But, this text come ok]]>. Example
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[if ((document.forms[0] != null)
&& (document.forms[0].name == "END")) { SB_SetCanExit(true); }]]>
</script>
becomes
<script type="text/javascript">if ((document.forms[0] != null) &&
(document.forms[0].name == "END")) { SB_SetCanExit(true); }</script>
Is there a way to fix this?
4~) And let me know of any tother improvement or changes required in
Tranformation.xsl
Thanks in adv,
