Testing the number of child elements
Subject: Testing the number of child elements From: Emmanuel Pietriga <emmanuel.pietriga@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Feb 2000 14:51:31 +0100 |
Hi. Here's my problem: I want to test if the current node (plus) has one child or more (I don't output the same thing if it has one child element or more than one). And I want to do this for all elements "plus" of "apply" using a for-each. I am saying that current node is (plus) because I think it is true when we are in the for-each loop. Am I right? That is, does current() actually returns the "plus" element? Here is what I do, but it doesn't work (XT always chooses the "otherwise" solution) <xsl:template match="apply[plus]"> <xsl:for-each select="child::*[position()!=last() and position()!=1]"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="count(current()/child::*)=1"> <xsl:apply-templates select="."/><mo>+</mo> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <mrow><xsl:apply-templates select="."/></mrow><mo>A</mo> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> The XML source is: <apply> <eq/> <apply> <plus/> <apply> <power/> <ci>x</ci> <cn>2</cn> </apply> <apply> <times/> <cn>4</cn> <ci>x</ci> </apply> <cn>4</cn> </apply> <cn>0</cn> </apply> Emmanuel. By the way, I have another little question: I've included a DOCTYPE in my stylesheet because I define entity references in it. One of these entities is InvisibleTimes. I know its unicode is E89E So I've written <ENTITY InvisibleTimes "&#E89E;">, but XT tells me "character not allowed" What can I Do?
