Subject: Re: [xsl] Result tree fragment to string?
Do I have any options left for converting the result tree fragment to
a
string?
no
Hmm... could he do something like:
<xsl:variable name="xml">
<xsl:call-template name="serialize-tree">
<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="$result-tree" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:template name="serialize-tree">
<xsl:param name="nodes" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="$nodes" mode="serialize" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="quote-attribute">
<xsl:param name="value" />
<!-- quote attribute's value -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()" mode="serialize" />
<xsl:template match="@*" mode="serialize">
<xsl:variable name="dq">
<xsl:text>"</xsl:text>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="value">
<xsl:call-template name="quote-attribute">
<xsl:with-param name="value" select="." />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(' ',local-name(),'=',$dq,$value,$dq)" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="serialize">
<xsl:value-of select="concat('<',local-name())" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*" mode="serialize" />
<xsl:value-of select="string('>')" />
<xsl:apply-templates select="*" mode="serialize" />
<xsl:value-of select="concat('</',local-name(),'>')" />
</xsl:template>
The above doesn't handle namespaces, processing-instructions, comments,
or mixed content, but it could be hacked to do so. Is there a reason
why this approach would not work in XSL 1.0 to satisfy his needs?
Andy.
