If you are trying to create a single result copy of elements that are multiply
referenced then I would suggest using XSLT 3 so you can use maps. (OT 2.5.4 and
3.3+ both use Saxon 9.8 so you can mix XSLT 2 and 3 modules if you're running
your transform in the OT.)
Then you can process your input files to construct a map of uri/id pairs (the
key) to the elements and then process that map to generate the results (and if
this is to create referenceable content topics for Ixiasoft, remind them that
this aspect of their architecture is very poorly thought out and they should
not require it, but that's another conversation).
If you construct map entries for each use and then combine them into a single
map using the "use-first" or "use-any" "duplicates" option then you can blindly
process all the references and let the map-merge process produce a single list
of elements, e.g.;
<xsl:variable name="use-entries" as="map(*)*">
<xsl:call-template name="find-all-conrefs"/>
</xsl:variable>
The find-all-conrefs template generates maps, one for each id/element pair,
which you can create with xsl:map or using the literal map constructor:
"map{$key : $value}".
Now make a single map:
<xsl:variable name="use-map" as="map(*)"
select="map:merge($use-entries, map{ 'duplicates' : 'use-any'}"
/>
And then process the entries to produce the result docs:
<xsl:for-each select="map:keys($use-map)">
<xsl:variable name="key" select="." as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:call-template name="make-result-doc">
<xsl:with-param name="key" as="xs:string" select="$key"/>
<xsl:with-param name="key" as="element() " select="map:get($use-map, $key)"
as="element() "/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:for-each>
(I know the for-each could be done in slightly more compact way but I like to
be a little more explicit when working with maps.)
I find using maps for this kind of gathering and outputting process makes the
code clearer, especially for tasks that are more "procedural" than typical XSLT
document processing.
Cheers,
E.

I'm processing some DITA xml files with XSLT. I'm reading these files and
where they have a conref into some other content (think xinclude) that is
included in the current file. There may be multiple things shared out from one
large file (topic). I want to make a new file for each of the shared pieces.
More than one file can reference exactly the same content, so after
processing all these files I want a single file representing the shared
content. It is this multiple references to the same content that causes the
duplication of the file that the result-document() function doesn't like. this
is the code that I have for detecting this situation:
<xsl:variable name="newFile" select="concat($srcFile, '-', $target,
'-output.dita')" />
NEW FILE <xsl:value-of select="$newFile"/>
Doc available: <xsl:value-of select="doc-available($newFile)"/>
<xsl:if test="not(doc-available($newFile))"
CREATE FILE NOW
<xsl:result-document method="xml" href="{$newFile}" indent="yes">
<referable-content id="ikj1555615661716" xml:lang="en-us">
<titler>efereable test</title>
<rcbody>
<xsl:copy-of select="document($srcFile)//*[@id = $target]"/>
</rcbody>
</referable-content>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:if>
Here are a series of messages created as i process the files. Notice that
the first message correctly identifies the file
"conref-para_content.dita-simpletable_nohead-output.dita" as not existing and
produces output. If you then look at the last one you will see the same file
being referenced and tries to write to the file again. But in other places you
see the test working properly and not creating a new file:
file 'conref-para_content.dita'
NEW FILE
/Users/danvint/pubsrc-other/formatting-sample/conref-para_content.dita-simpletable_nohead-output.dita
Doc available: false'
CREATE FILE NOW
file 'conref-para_content.dita'
NEW FILE
/Users/danvint/pubsrc-other/formatting-sample/conref-para_content.dita-simpletable_head-output.dita
Doc available: true'
file 'conref-para_content.dita'
NEW FILE
/Users/danvint/pubsrc-other/formatting-sample/conref-para_content.dita-table_head-output.dita
Doc available: true'
file 'conref-para_content.dita'
NEW FILE
/Users/danvint/pubsrc-other/formatting-sample/conref-para_content.dita-table_nohead-output.dita
Doc available: true'
file 'conref-para_content.dita'
NEW FILE
/Users/danvint/pubsrc-other/formatting-sample/conref-para_content.dita-simpletable_nohead-output.dita
Doc available: false'
CREATE FILE NOW
I believe the doc-available() reads the file to be XML. So when the script
stops there is a file in the OS but it is empty due to the second write
failing. Running this in oXygen I get the results of what should have been
written showing up in a window. I cut and pasted that content into the empty
file and reran it. Processing got further along and stopped on a second file
with the same message. I did the same thing, with the new content in this
second file and it now runs to completion if all the files exist.
If I delete all the files that were generated, I'm back to the same
problem. Is there some delay in writing the output that I should be accounting
for? Is there a sleep() function in XSLT or something to cause a delay or flush
the buffer?
Any ideas on what I can check?
