Then this is your chance to learn! :{)}
I'm transforming what was a rather flat SGML structure to an XML
structure. Here's the input structure:
...
Resulting structure tree:
...
My template (or at least the important part).
<xsl:template match="gen/title" mode="move">
<para0>
<title>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</title>
<subpara1>
<title><xsl:value-of
select="following-sibling::subtitle[1]"/></title>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::para"/>
</subpara1>
</para0>
My problem is with the <xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::para"/> line. Of course, all of the para
elements are following siblings of all the gen/title elements. How
can I express the <apply-templates> to process only the para element
siblings BEFORE the next following title sibling. (This is difficult
because EVERYTHING is a sibling of everything else).
Precisely! And for this reason, attacking the problem with XSLT 1.0
is a royal pain. You probably need a template to match sibling
elements, then process one sibling at a time. Not pretty.
I will let another volunteer undertake to show you the answer using
XSLT 1 ... below is an answer using XSLT 2.
I hope this helps (if not now, then in the future when you finally
embrace XSLT 2).
