Hi,
I want to split/un-nest the elements in xml like below:
Input xml:
<region>
<page>
<block>Text1.....</block>
<block>
<inline>Text2.....</inline>
<page>
<block>Text3.....</block>
</page>
<inline>Text4......</inline>
</block>
</page>
<page>
<block>Text5.....</block>
</page>
</region>
Desired Output:
<region>
<page>
<block>Text1.....</block>
<block>
<inline>Text2.....</inline>
</block>
</page>
<page>
<block>Text3.....</block>
</page>
<page>
<block>
<inline>Text4......</inline>
</block>
</page>
<page>
<block>Text5.....</block>
</page>
</region>
Can anyone help me on this?
You need the "modified identity" or "sibling recursion" technique to
allow you stop processing as you come across a <page> element:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()[1]"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/region">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="//page|//*[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::page]]" mode="copy"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="page" mode="copy">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()[1]"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="inline" mode="copy">
<page>
<block>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</block>
</page>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="page"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Sorry I don't have time to explain it...
