Hi Andrew,
I am not sure if you got chance to take a look my last post in the
thread so describing the same again as below:
Thanks for the response and stylesheet too...It's working well with me
but with one limitation. In the input xml, I can't be sure about that
how many nested block level elements would be there inside <page> i.e.
descendants of <page> can be many nested <block> elements and also they
can be <list>, <table> etc. I tried using <xsl:template match="*"
mode='copy'> instead of <xsl:template match="inline" mode="copy"> in the
stylesheet but in that case it doesn't copy parent elements of original
<inline> or <block> from original <page> element to newly generated
(replicated) <page>. i.e. as per example below, it doesn't copy the 3
nested <block> elements in the replicated <page> element. Could you
please suggest on this?
Current Input XML:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<region>
<page>
<block>Text1.....</block>
<block>
<block>
<block>
<inline>Text2.....</inline>
<table>
<cell>cell1.....</cell>
<cell>cell2.....</cell>
</table>
<page>
<block>Text3.....</block>
</page>
<list>
<item1>Text4......</item1>
<item2>Text5......</item2>
</list>
</block>
</block>
</block>
</page>
<page>
<block>Text5.....</block>
</page>
</region>
Current Output using <xsl:template match="*" mode="copy">:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<region>
<page>
<block>Text1.....</block>
<block>
<block>
<block>
<inline>Text2.....</inline>
<table>
<cell>cell1.....</cell>
<cell>cell2.....</cell>
</table>
</block>
</block>
</block>
</page>
<page>
<block>Text3.....</block>
</page>
<page>
<list>
<item1>Text4......</item1>
<item2>Text5......</item2>
</list>
</page>
<page>
<block>Text5.....</block>
</page>
</region>
Stylesheet:
<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="*" mode="copy">
<page>
<xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
</page>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="page"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks & Regards

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...
