Hello,
I did see your message on the xep mailing list and the
answer by G. Ken Holman, and I offered to send the
stylesheet I had made that does just that (currently
based on an element name for the break, not an
attribute value).
I find it's a complicated problem that I don't think
can be explained easily (not by me anyway ;-)
I'm sending the stylesheet to you in a separate
message.
If you run the stylesheet on a slightly modified version
of your source (Z instead of E when i=9):
<A i="1">
<B i="2">
<C i="3"/>
</B>
<B i="4">
<C i="5">
<D i="6"/>
<D i="7">
<E i="8"/>
<Z i="9" msg="get me out of here!"/>
<E i="10"/>
</D>
<D i="11"/>
</C>
<C i="12"/>
</B>
</A>
you get the following result:
<root>
<A i="1">
<B i="2">
<C i="3"/>
</B>
<B i="4">
<C i="5">
<D i="6"/>
<D i="7">
<E i="8"/>
</D>
</C>
</B>
</A>
<Z i="9" msg="get me out of here!"/>
<A i="1">
<B i="4">
<C i="5">
<D i="7">
<E i="10"/>
</D>
<D i="11"/>
</C>
<C i="12"/>
</B>
</A>
</root>
Regards,
EB

Subject: [xsl] Selecting everything "before" and "after" a specific node
Hi,
I’ve searched and posted on another list, but have not found an
answer to this problem…
I have XML like this...
<A i=”1”>
<B i=”2”>
<C i=”3”/>
</B>
<B i=”4”>
<C i=”5”>
<D i=”6”/>
<D i=”7”>
<E i=”8”/>
<E i=”9” msg="get me out of here!"/>
<E i=”10”/>
</D>
<D i=”11”/>
</C>
<C i=”12”/>
</B>
</A>
And I need to break it out into 3 nodesets, delimited by the <E
i=”9” msg="get me out of here!"/> such that I’d end up with...
<ROOT>
<BEFORE>
<A i=”1”>
<B i=”2”>
<C i=”3”/>
</B>
<B i=”4”>
<C i=”5”>
<D i=”6”/>
<D i=”7”>
<E i=”8”/>
</D>
</C>>
</B>
</A>
</BEFORE>
<PULLED_OUT>
<E id=”9” msg="get me out of here!"/>
</PULLED_OUT>
<AFTER>
<A i=”1”>
<B i=”4”>
<C i=”5”>
<D i=”7”>
<E i=”10”/>
</D>
<D i=”11”/>
</C>
<C i=”12”/>
</B>
</A>
</AFTER>
</ROOT>
Any suggestions as to how I’d go about that?
I've spent some time with preceding and following axis, and some
other conditions, but this has not got me where I need to get as yet.
Thanks so much,
Paul
