Re: [xsl] Apply Comment Position

Hi,

Since I dig grouping Martin’s solution is clever and thanks for reminding me of 
tail()!

Depending on the underlying logic, you might rather loop over the ext-link:

<xsl:template match="article-meta">
  <xsl:copy>
    <xsl:for-each select="ext-link">
      <cp id="{@id}">
        <email>
          <xsl:value-of select="."/>
          <!-- pull in first preceding comment -->
          <xsl:copy-of select="preceding-sibling::node()[self::comment()][1]"/>
        </email>
      </cp>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

Happy coding,

- Michael

Hi,

Please look at the below xml, xslt and required output. I tried position 
function to get the comment inside <mail> in respective <ext-link>. I am 
facing a problem where  ( <!--xmltex 
\gdef\EmailAuthIdDefnII{\MailAuthIdII}-->) refers to two <ext-link>. Could 
you please anyone help on this.



Which version of XSLT can you use? What defines a relation between a comment 
"xmltext" and an "ext-link" element? Can't that just be solved by

  <xsl:template match="article-meta">

    <xsl:copy>

      <xsl:for-each select="comment()[starts-with(., 'xmltext')] | ext-link" 
group-starting-with="comment()">

         <xsl:for-each select="tail(current-group())">

            <cp id="{@id}">

              <email>

                 <xsl:copy-of select="node(), current-group()[1]"/>

            </email>

         </cp>

     </xsl:for-each-group>

  </xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>


So that should have been


   <xsl:template match="article-meta">
      <xsl:copy>
        <xsl:for-each-group select="comment()[starts-with(., 'xmltex')] | 
ext-link" group-starting-with="comment()">
           <xsl:for-each select="tail(current-group())">
              <cp id="{@id}">
                <email>
                   <xsl:copy-of select="node(), current-group()[1]"/>
                </email>
              </cp>
            </xsl:for-each>
       </xsl:for-each-group>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>


really, sorry, it seems without an editor I am not able to type well-formed 
and intended XSLT
