Re: [xsl] what's the best way to do this

Hi Roelof,

This time, I'm not late !

I don't see any difficulty to get the HTML ouput, it's just in the same order than the XML. I would actually
- match the root "menu" element to make the html, head and body elements,
- then match "section" to make the "div id=firstpane" (be carefull with id unicity if the xml contains many sections) and his skeleton i.e "menu_head" and "menu_body"
- then match "year" to fullfill  menu_head
- then "month" to construct the links
- and ignoring entry


But maybe the problem is about converting numerical month values to litterals ones ?

To do this, you have to write somewhere the correspondance "numeric - litteral".

You have 2 options :
- either in an external xml file (i think this kind of file is call "authority list") => then reading the file from your XSL (using document() function, or aggregate it before with xproc/cocoon... many solutions here)
- or within your XSLT :
- with a test (choose/when/otherwise..) but this is not handy to maintain
    - with variable
         - type nodeset if XSLT1
         - containing a sequence (XSLT2)

Hope this help,

Matthieu

Hello,



Last question and then I have the site ready.



I have now this xml :



  <menu>

      <section id="9" handle="dagboek">Dagboek</section>

            <year value="2005">

            <month value="03">

                <entry id="17" />

            </month>

             <month value="02">

                 <entry id="16" />

                 <entry id="15" />

                 <entry id="14" />

             </month>

           </year>

</menu>



And I like to have this output :



<div id="firstpane" class="menu_list">

      <p class="menu_head">2005</p>

      <div class="menu_body">

          <a href="#">februari</a>

          <a href="#">maart</a>

      </div>

</div>



And I wonder now what's the best approach to get all the months under the year ?



Regards,



Roelof
