Hi,
I'm new to XSL. Currently I'm using XSLT 1.0 parsing tools.
I'm integrating content from a 3rd party, where part of the XML looks
like this (i've modified the content from the original):
<item>
<ref id="ireland">
<b>Republic of Ireland</b>
</ref>: is a country with a population of 5 million ...
</item>
The resultant HTML that I WANT will look something like this:
<li><a href="country.aspx?id=ireland">Republic of Ireland</a>: is a
country with a population of 5 million ...</li>
However, no matter what I try, the closest I can come up with is this:
<li><a href="country.aspx?id=ireland">Republic of Ireland</a>:
Republic of Ireland is a country with a population of 5 million
...</li>
(notice the double "Republic of Ireland" in there). The question is
how do I prevent the text inside the <ref> tags been repeated, but yet
get the value of the rest of the text outside the <ref> tags ...
These are the templates that I am using and / or have tried:
<xsl:template match="item"><li><xsl:apply-templates select="ref"
mode="include" /><xsl:value-of select="."/></li></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*/ref" mode="include">
<a href="country.aspx?id={@id}"><xsl:value-of select="."/></a>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*/ref" mode="exclude"></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*/ref"></xsl:template>
Hope this makes sense and thank you in advance,
Frank
