HI Eric & List,
Thanks for this solution. There is another gotcha. I realized I didn't make
clearthat, all the changes are inside of one parent element
<interface-categories name='Source Changes' category='Source'>.
So I need to switch on <data> children inside of that. How I know it is the
start of a new change and table row, is the data node will have the attribute
'changes' <data section='changes'
field='file'>ConvertHistoryWages.java</data>. There can be mutliple 'changes'
inside the parent element <interface-changes>.
I apologize, for not being clear. Any additional guidance is sure appreciated.
Thanks.,
Bernie

There are a series of data nodes that represent either headings or
‘diffs’ or detail to the headings. The headings are denoted by the
attribute section=’changes’. Basically, every time I encounter this
section I want to make a new table row and fill the cells with the
different value of the element, or I could even create a whole new
table.
I've given a solution which includes <tbody> elements, you can
extrapolate that into different tables if needed.
The problem I am having is testing if a fild is missing, some
entries don't have a field="file for example. In that case I have to
leave a blank cell.
Using a recursive push solution is best for building the structure of
the tables, while filling the cells in your case calls for a pull
solution. I mocked up a source file that isn't an exact fit, but does
illustrate your issue, that's listed first, followed by the XSLT.
My thinking, obviously, is that an extra nbsp doesn't hurt anything.
HTH,
Eric
