RE: [xsl] transforming flat structure with xsl 2.0 grouping

2013-05-20 10:54:57
I have an extremely flat structure exported from Framemaker (not
structured). The elements are created from style names and the
structure is completely flat. Just about everything is a sibling of
everything else.

I am transforming this flat structure to a proprietary content model
(DTD). The entire project consists of a lot of group. Most of which
I have a handle on. However there is aspect I could use some help with.

I have an XML input structure that something like this:

<XML>
<Warning>
</Warning>
<WarnHazText>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
<WarnHazText>Wear eye</WarnHazText>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
<Warning>
</Warning>
<WarnHazText>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
<WarnHazText>Wear eye</WarnHazText>
<HazText>CARC </HazText>
<HazText>ALWAYS follow /HazText>
<Note></Note>
<HazText>When using a torch</HazText>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
</XML>

Or it could look like this:

<XML>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
<Warning>
</Warning>
<Graphic>
     <IMAGE  href="icon-30.gif"/>
</Graphic>
<WarnHazText>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
<WarnHazText>Wear eye</WarnHazText>
<HazText>CARC </HazText>
<HazText>ALWAYS follow /HazText>
<ProcStep>All weldel.</ProcStep>
</XML>
What output would you like from both of those inputs?  You don't show
that ... you only show your code.

The problem with trying to "fix" the templates you have is that you
may have started out on the wrong foot.  It is difficult from your
prose description to deduce what end structures you want from the
above when the transformation is done.  Knowing what you want from
what you have (and if you have further examples, all the better)
would help a volunteer understand the requirement better.

Ken,

I realized later that evening I hit "send" too soon.

The desired output:

<XML>
<step1>
    <specpara>
        <warning>
            <trim.para>Cleaning solvent</trim.para>
            <trim.para>Wear eye</trim.para>
        </warning>
        <para>All welds.</para>
    </specpara>
</step1>
<step1>
    <specpara>
        <warning>
            <trim.para>Cleaning solvent </WarnHazText>
                <trim.para>Wear eye</trim.para>
                <trim.para>CARC </trim.para>
                <trim.para>ALWAYS follow </trim.para>
        </warning>
        <note>
            <trim.para>When using a torch</trim.para>
        </note>
        <para>All weldel. </para>
    </specpara>
</step1>
</XML>
