The problem is that I am trying to extract content from an XSL
doc using XSLT to transform into XML
(see the example below). Problem is that I am getting the text from the previous sections of the XSL,
which is unwanted (notice the 'This is the chapter' text). Can someone help?
Original XSL:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"
xmlns:foo="http://someplace.com/foo"
extension-element-prefixes="foo">
<xsl:template match="/"> <!--root rule-->
<html>
<head><title></title></head>
<body>
<h1><xsl:value-of select="doc/title"/></h1>
<hr/>
<xsl:for-each select="doc/chapter">
This is the chapter:<br/>
<h2><xsl:value-of select="title"/></h2>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:for-each>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<foo:months locale="en-us">
<month>January</month>
<month>February</month>
<month>March</month>
</foo:months>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Applied transformation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format"
xmlns:foo="http://someplace.com/foo"
exclude-result-prefixes="xsl">
<xsl
utput method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="foo:months[@locale='en-us']">
<xsl:element name="locale">
<xsl:attribute name="id"><xsl:value-of select="@locale"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="month"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="month">
<xsl:if test="parent::*[@locale='en-us']">
<xsl:element name="month">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output XML:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
This is the chapter:<locale id="en-us">
<month>January</month>
<month>February</month>
<month>March</month>
</locale>
