Hi,
I've been using the following code that works based on templates to
merge <chunk> siblings beside one another such that the following
<chunk>1</chunk>
<chunk>2</chunk>
<notChunk>3</notChunk>
<chunk>4</chunk>
<chunk>5</chunk>
would be merged to
<chunk>12</chunk>
<notChunk>3</notChunk>
<chunk>45</chunk>
Here is the code:
<xsl:template match="chunk" priority="1">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:copy-of select="text()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][self::chunk]"
mode="more"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="chunk[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::chunk]]"
priority="2"/>
<xsl:template match="chunk" mode="more">
<xsl:copy-of select="text()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][self::chunk]"
mode="more"/>
</xsl:template>
This works great if I'm applying the templates to an xml file however
I'm interested to have the chunks within a <xsl:variable
name="content" as="element()*> and then merge them and output them and
I'm not sure how to go about merging the like siblings within a
variable.
Any suggestions are highly appreciated?
The as="element()*" suggests you are using XSLT 2.0, then I am
astonished you are not using xsl:for-each-group group-adjacent from the
beginning.
Are you using XSLT 2.0? Can't you use
<xsl:for-each-group select="$your-variable"
group-adjacent="boolean(self::chunk)">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="current-grouping-key()">
<chunk><xsl:value-of select="current-group()"
separator=""/></chunk>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="current-group()"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each-group>
