Hi,
At 11:11 AM 11/30/2006, you wrote:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO_8859-1"?>
<show>
<slide>
<heading>Dog hobbies</heading>
<contents>The dog likes to watch
television.</contents>
</slide>
<slide>
<heading>Dog food</heading>
<contents>The dog likes to eat
Kenlration.</contents>
</slide>
<slide>
<heading>Dog sleeping</heading>
<contents>The dog likes to sleep on the
bed.</contents>
</slide>
</show>
and the following. . .
<xsl:stylesheet
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="ISO_8859-1"/>
<!-- DEFINE THE DOCUMENT LEVEL TEMPLATE -->
<xsl:include href="basichtmlformatting.xsl"/>
<xsl:template match="slide">
<div class="about">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
<!-- what do I do here to create an html link from
each slide to the next slide? something of the format
"slide01.html" -->
<xsl:variable name="next-slide-filename">
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::slide" mode="filename"/>
</xsl:variable>
<div class="navbar">
<a href="{$next-slide-filename}">Next</a>
</div>
...
</xsl:template>
and (elsewhere in your stylesheet)
<xsl:template match="slide" mode="filename"/>
<xsl:text>slide</xsl:text>
<xsl:number format="01"/>
<xsl:text>.html</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
... which is a general purpose template you can use for any slide to
get its name (so also useful for the previous and first slides, etc.).
The 'next-slide-filename' variable will come out empty when there is
no next slide. This is easy to test.
Cheers,
Wendell
