Hi,
I have a (basically) flat XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Cases>
<Story>
<Category>Category: Subcategory</Category>
<CaseTitle>Title One</CaseTitle>
<Institution>Institution One</Institution >
<Author>Authors One</Author>
<History>History One</History>
<DifferentialDiagnosis>Sick</DifferentialDiagnosis>
<DifferentialDiagnosis>Sicker</DifferentialDiagnosis>
<DifferentialDiagnosis>Sickest</DifferentialDiagnosis>
<TeachingPoint>Point1</TeachingPoint>
<TeachingPoint>Point2</TeachingPoint>
<SuggestedReading>Reading1</SuggestedReading>
<SuggestedReading>Reading2</SuggestedReading>
<Category>Category One: Subcategory</Category>
<CaseTitle>Title Two</CaseTitle>
<Institution>Title Two</Institution >
<Author>Author Two</Author>
<History>History Two</History>
<DifferentialDiagnosis>Sickly</DifferentialDiagnosis>
<DifferentialDiagnosis>Sicklier</DifferentialDiagnosis>
<DifferentialDiagnosis>Sickliest</DifferentialDiagnosis>
<TeachingPoint>Point1</TeachingPoint>
<TeachingPoint>Point2</TeachingPoint>
<SuggestedReading>Reading1</SuggestedReading>
<SuggestedReading>Reading2</SuggestedReading></Story>
</Cases>
With some help from the group, I got a single level of nesting, starting
with each new category. However, I just found out that I need some
sub-grouping. My finished XML needs to look like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<data>
<newRecord>
<Category>Category</Category>
<Subcategory>Subcategory</Subcategory>
<Case>1</Case>
<CaseTitle>Title One</CaseTitle>
<Institution>Institution One</Institution>
<Authors>Authors One</Authors>
<History>History One</History>
<DifferentialDiagnosis1>Sick</DifferentialDiagnosis1>
<DifferentialDiagnosis2>Sicker</DifferentialDiagnosis2>
<DifferentialDiagnosis3>Sickest</DifferentialDiagnosis3>
<TeachingPoints>
<TeachingPoint>Point1</TeachingPoint>
<TeachingPoint>Point2</TeachingPoint>
</TeachingPoints>
<SuggestedReadings>
<SuggestedReading>Reading1</SuggestedReading>
<SuggestedReading>Reading2</SuggestedReading>
</SuggestedReadings>
</newRecord>
<newRecord>
<Category>Category One</Category>
<Subcategory>Subcategory</Subcategory>
<Case>2</Case>
<CaseTitle>Title Two</CaseTitle>
<Institution>Title Two</Institution>
<Authors>Author Two</Authors>
<History>History Two</History>
<DifferentialDiagnosis1>Sickly</DifferentialDiagnosis1>
<DifferentialDiagnosis2>Sicklier</DifferentialDiagnosis2>
<DifferentialDiagnosis3>Sickliest</DifferentialDiagnosis3>
<TeachingPoints>
<TeachingPoint>Point1</TeachingPoint>
<TeachingPoint>Point2</TeachingPoint>
</TeachingPoints>
<SuggestedReadings>
<SuggestedReading>Reading1</SuggestedReading>
<SuggestedReading>Reading2</SuggestedReading>
</SuggestedReadings>
</newRecord>
</data>
Here is my stylesheet. It gives me what I need, except for the nested
<TeachingPoint> and <SuggestedReading> elements. I am not sure exactly how
to approach this with XSLT 1.0.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output indent="yes" />
<xsl:template match="Cases/Story">
<data>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Category[1]" />
</data>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Category">
<xsl:element name="newRecord">
<Category><xsl:value-of select="substring-before(.,':
')"/></Category>
<Subcategory><xsl:value-of select="substring-after(.,':
')"/></Subcategory>
<Case><xsl:number count="Category"/></Case>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][not(self::Category)]"
mode="in-case-siblings"/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::Category[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="*" mode="in-case-siblings">
<xsl:copy-of select="." />
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][not(self::Category)]"
mode="in-case-siblings"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Category" mode="in-case-siblings"/>
<xsl:template match="DifferentialDiagnosis" mode="in-case-siblings">
<xsl:variable name="diagnosis">
<xsl:value-of select="1 +
count(preceding-sibling::DifferentialDiagnosis) -
count(preceding-sibling::Category[1]/preceding-sibling::DifferentialDiagnosi
s)"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="{concat(name(),$diagnosis)}"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="following-sibling::*[1][not(self::Category)]"
mode="in-case-siblings"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Thanks in advance.
Rick
