I should probably be posting this to Stack Overflow, where the XSLT questions
are more basic, but anyways . . .
I have a JATS document with references, e.g.:
<ref id="r2"><label>2.</label><mixed-citation
publication-type="journal"><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Selvarajah</surname>
<given-names>S</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Hammond</surname>
<given-names>ER</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Haider</surname>
<given-names>AH</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Abularrage</surname>
<given-names>CJ</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Becker</surname>
<given-names>D</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Dhiman</surname>
<given-names>N</given-names></string-name>, <etal>et al.</etal>
<article-title>The burden of acute traumatic spinal cord injury among adults in
the United States: an update.</article-title> <source>J Neurotrauma</source>
<year>2014</year>;<volume>31</volume>(<issue>3</issue>):<fpage>228</fpage>-<lpage>38</lpage>.</mixed-ci!
tation></ref>
I want to remove the <label> and wrap all the <string-name>, <collab>, and
<etal> elements, and all the space and punctuation in between, in a single
<person-group> wrapper, yielding:
<ref id="r2"><mixed-citation
publication-type="journal"><person-group><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Selvarajah</surname>
<given-names>S</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Hammond</surname>
<given-names>ER</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Haider</surname>
<given-names>AH</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Abularrage</surname>
<given-names>CJ</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Becker</surname>
<given-names>D</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Dhiman</surname>
<given-names>N</given-names></string-name>, <etal>et al.</etal></person-group>
<article-title>The burden of acute traumatic spinal cord injury among adults in
the United States: an update.</article-title> <source>J Neurotrauma</source>
<year>2014</year>;<volume>31</volume>(<issue>3</issue>):<fpage>228</fpage>-<lpage>38</lpage!
.</mixed-citation></ref>
Using my "I've only gotten through 3 hours of the Udemy XSLT course" skills, I
came up with the following, realizing that I would be losing the spaces and
punctuation between elements (which I can live with at this point):
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="xs"
version="2.0">
<!--identity template-->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ref/label"/>
<xsl:template match="mixed-citation">
<xsl:copy>
<person-group>
<xsl:apply-templates select="string-name|collab|etal"/>
</person-group>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="./node()[not(string-name|collab|etal)]"></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
(Saxon PE 9.7.0.15 in Oxygen)
But that gave me:
<ref id="r2"><mixed-citation><person-group><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Selvarajah</surname>
<given-names>S</given-names></string-name><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Hammond</surname>
<given-names>ER</given-names></string-name><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Haider</surname>
<given-names>AH</given-names></string-name><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Abularrage</surname>
<given-names>CJ</given-names></string-name><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Becker</surname>
<given-names>D</given-names></string-name><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Dhiman</surname>
<given-names>N</given-names></string-name><etal>et
al.</etal></person-group><string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Selvarajah</surname>
<given-names>S</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Hammond</surname>
<given-names>ER</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Haider</surname> <given-names>A!
H</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Abularrage</surname>
<given-names>CJ</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Becker</surname>
<given-names>D</given-names></string-name>, <string-name
name-style="western"><surname>Dhiman</surname>
<given-names>N</given-names></string-name>, <etal>et al.</etal>

That is, all the stuff I want wrapped is wrapped, but it's also repeated. I
don't understand why
<xsl:apply-templates
select="./node()[not(string-name|collab|etal)]"></xsl:apply-templates>
(and the many variations of the same I've tried) does not exclude those
elements.
How do I exclude them? A bonus would be to know how to preserve the punctuation
and spaces between the <string-name> (and <collab> and <etal>) elements.
Thanks!
