Subject: Nested XML elements to HTML From: "Schachter, Michael" <MSchachter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 7 Aug 2000 15:50:57 -0400 |
Hi, I'm having a problem converting xml elements that are in a nested format to html that would be presentable. Here is an example of what the xml looks like: <discussion> <post id="33"> <author>mike</author> <date>2000-06-22 15:02:12</date> <subject>Test Thread 1</subject> <data>parent test 1</data> <post id="36"> <author>mike</author> <date>2000-06-22 15:04:00</date> <subject>Test Thread 1-a</subject> <data>nothin</data> </post> <post id="37"> <author>john</author> <date>2000-06-22 15:04:30</date> <subject>Test Thread 1-b</subject> <data>nothing also</data> </post> <post id="45"> <date>2000-06-22 15:05:30</date> <subject>Test Thread 1-b-1</subject> <data>I second that.</data> </post> <post id="39"> <author>mike</author> <date>2000-06-22 15:05:00</date> <subject>Test Thread 1-c</subject> <data>heh.</data> </post> </post> </discussion> Here is what I want the html to look like: <blockquote> <b>Test Thread 1 by mike @ 2000-06-22 15:02:12</b> <br />parent test 1 <blockquote> <b>Test Thread 1-a by mike @ 2000-06-22 15:04:00</b> <br>nothin </blockquote> <blockquote> <b>Test Thread 1-b by john @ 2000-06-22 15:04:30</b> <br>nothing also <blockquote> <b>Test Thread 1-b-1 by mike @ 2000-06-22 15:05:30</b> <br>I second that. </blockquote> </blockquote> <blockquote> <b>Test Thread 1-c by mike @ 2000-06-22 15:05:00</b> <br>heh. </blockquote> </blockquote> Here is the stylesheet I'm using, of course, it doesn't work. The problem is that it parses right through the node structure logically instead of straight up text-replacement (well, thats not really a problem, but it makes this difficult for me to get it to work): <?xml version="1.0" ?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/XSL/Transform/1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml"/> <xsl:template match="discussion"> <xsl:for-each select="/descendant::post"> <blockquote> <b> <xsl:value-of select="subject" /> by <xsl:value-of select="author" /> @ <xsl:value-of select="date" /> </b> <br /> <xsl:value-of select="data" /> </blockquote> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Any help whatsoever would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
