Re: [xsl] Traverse sub tree starting from a particular position

Starting with the last <hrdots/> or <hrline/> in the section, add to
it all of its ancestors within the section (those that have the
section as an ancestor).  If any of these have a following sibling
that is an element or a text node consisting of more than just
whitespace, the underline should be output.

  <xsl:template match="section">
    <xsl:variable name="last" select=".//*[self::hrdots |
self::hrline][last()]/ancestor-or-self::*"/>
    <xsl:variable name="in-sect"
select="$last[ancestor::*[generate-id(.) = generate-id(current())]]"/>
    <xsl:variable name="sibs" select="$in-sect/following-sibling::node()"/>
    <xsl:variable name="underline" select="$sibs[self::* |
self::text()[normalize-space(.)]]"/>
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
      <xsl:attribute name="underline-after">
        <xsl:choose>
          <xsl:when test="$underline">yes</xsl:when>
          <xsl:otherwise>no</xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
      </xsl:attribute>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

Hi all,

I am currently converting the following basic XML to FO:
<root>
    <section>
        <hrline /> Some text
    </section>
    <section>
        <hrdots />Some text <hrline />
    </section>
    <section>
       <p> Some Text <hrline /></p>
    </section>
    <section>
        Some Text
        <hrline />
        <p>
            <sub>Some Text <hrdots /></sub>
        </p>
        <sub>Some Text</sub>
    </section>
    <section>
        Some Text <hrline />
       <img src="smile.gif" />
    </section>
</root>

In the resulting FO file each "section" element ends with an underline, 
however there also elements that produce horizontal lines/dots. The idea is 
to try and prevent the "section" underline from appearing when there is no 
text or elements after the last hrline/hrdots. This is to prevent double 
lines from appearing.

The best I have managed so far is to get the last hrline/hrdots element 
within the section:
<xsl:template match="section">
    <xsl:variable name="underline">
        <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="descendant::node()[self::hrdot or 
self::hrline][last()]">
                <xsl:text>yes</xsl:text>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:text>no</xsl:text>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
    </xsl:variable>
     <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:attribute name="underline-after">
            <xsl:value-of select="$underline" />
        </xsl:attribute>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

What I need to next is traverse the rest of the "section" sub tree to detect 
whether there is any more text or nodes appearing after that last 
hrline/hrdots element. An example of the output should look like this:

<root>

    <section underline-after="yes">

        <hrline /> Some text

    </section>

    <section underline-after="no">

        <hrdots />Some text <hrline />

    </section>

    <section underline-after="no">

       <p> Some Text <hrline /></p>

    </section>

    <section underline-after="yes">

        Some Text

        <hrline />

        <p>

            <sub>Some Text <hrdots /></sub>

        </p>

        <sub>Some Text</sub>

    </section>

    <section underline-after="yes">

        Some Text <hrline />

       <img src="smile.gif" />

    </section>

</root>

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks
