RE: [xsl] position matching

Two obvious errors, excluding typos:

(1) target[position() > 2] should be target[position() > 1]

(2) preceding-sibling::source[position()] - you've forgotten that the
context inside a predicate changes. You need to bind position() to a
variable p outside the expression and then use
preceding-sibling::source[$p]. Or in fact I suspect it should be
(preceding-sibling::source)[$p] because you want them numbered in forwards
rather than reverse order.

Hai All,

I am working on automatic XSLT generation project and here is 
the mapping table.

Here is my XML file:
 <map>
      <source>article</source>
      <source>@docsubtype</source>
      <source>@version</source>
      <target>article</target>
      <target>@article-type</target>
      <target>@dtd-version</target>
   </map>

My stylesheet:

<xsl:template match="map">
<xsl:if test="count(child::source) = count(child::target) and
count(child::*) != 2">
<mac:template match="{source[1]}">
<mac:element name="{target[1]}">
<xsl:for-each select="target[position() > 2"> <mac:attribute 
name="substring-after({target},'@')"><mac:value-of
select="preceding-sibling::source[position()]"/></mac:attribute>
<xsl:for-each>
<mac:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </mac:element> 
</mac:template> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>

Expected Output:

<xsl:template match="article>
<xsl:element name="article">
<xsl:attribute name="article-type"><xsl:value-of 
select="@docsubtype"></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="@dtd-version"><xsl:value-of 
select="@version"></xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:template>


I am not getting the desired result. Please let me know where 
I am going wrong.

Regards,
Ganesh
