Relative newbie question: XSLT 2.0, grouping with text nodes and
mixed text
For a newbie you've done *very* well and you could have fooled
me. You had only one small oversight.
I'm trying to convert a non-XML dictionary into XML. I've got it
mostly done, but I want to input elements that currently look like
...
and transform them into this
...
i.e. each original <hop> element in <examples> is followed by plain
text or mixed text, not containing <hop> or <examples> elements. I
want to group the nodes after each <hop> element and wrap them in
<eng>...</eng> tags. I tried the following, and a few other
variations, but the desired <eng> element comes out an empty <eng/>
Yes, because you failed to include the text nodes in the population
being grouped.
<xsl:template match="examples">
<examples>
<xsl:for-each-group select="*" group-starting-with="hop">
Simply change the above to select="node()" in order to select all
node children and not just element children.
Actually, there is an edge case involved because of the very first
empty text node. I've added an <xsl:if> to the loop so that any
content before the very first <hop> is ignored. The running example is below.
I hope this helps.
