I'm using the data for an XML workflow in InDesign. The main idea is
to convert the list into a somewhat linear structure so that items
are group according to order in which they appeared in the original
list. Somewhat like a table, where there is a column for each list.
I added a wrapper element for the grouping that i want to achieve, to
make it clearer:
<root>
<list>
<group order="1st">
<item type="a">list 1 item 1</item>
<item type="a">list 2 item 1</item>
<item type="a">list 3 item 1</item>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item type="b">list 1 item 2</item>
<item/>
<item/>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item/>
<item type="b">list 2 item 2</item>
<item type="b">list 3 item 2</item>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item/>
<item type="b">list 2 item 3</item>
<item type="b">list 3 item 3</item>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item/>
<item type="b">list 2 item 4</item>
<item/>
</group>
</list>
</root>
I thought about that. But I don't see how you map your original
input to this output. Here is you original input:
<root>
<list>
<item type="a">list 1 item 1</item>
<item type="b">list 1 item 2</item>
</list>
<list>
<item type="a">list 2 item 1</item>
<item type="b">list 2 item 2</item>
<item type="b">list 2 item 3</item>
<item type="b">list 2 item 4</item>
</list>
<list>
<item type="a">list 3 item 1</item>
<item type="b">list 3 item 2</item>
<item type="b">list 3 item 3</item>
</list>
</root>
From that and "somewhat like a table, where there is a column for
each list", I would expect someting like:
<root>
<list>
<group order="1st">
<item type="a">list 1 item 1</item>
<item type="a">list 2 item 1</item>
<item type="a">list 3 item 1</item>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item type="b">list 1 item 2</item>
<item type="b">list 2 item 2</item>
<item type="b">list 3 item 2</item>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item/>
<item type="b">list 2 item 3</item>
<item type="b">list 3 item 3</item>
</group>
<group order="1st">
<item/>
<item type="b">list 2 item 4</item>
<item/>
</group>
</list>
</root>
Did I miss something?
