I have a simple XSLT problem for the gurus.
This is my input document:
<root>
<e t="a"/>
<f/>
<f/>
<e t="b"/>
</root>
This is the output document I want to produce:
<root>
<e>
<f/>
<f/>
</e>
</root>
This is the stylesheet I wrote to do the transformation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/root">
<root>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</root>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="e">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@t ='a'">
<e>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@t ='b'">
</e>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:message terminate="yes">
Unexpected data in attribute t.
</xsl:message>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="f">
<xsl:copy/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Here is the Saxon output:
$ java -jar "c:\Program Files\Saxon\saxon9.jar" -o out.xml in.xml
test.xslt
Error on line 16 column 9 of
file:/C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/DFREY/Desktop/test/test.xslt:
SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The element type "e" must be
terminated by the
matching end-tag "</e>".
Failed to compile stylesheet. 1 error detected.
I understand that the source of the error is that the XSLT file is not
valid XML because the <e> tag doesn't have a matching </e> tag in the
right place.
How can I work around this issue to solve my problem?
Thanks,
David
