Newbie: XSLT variables?

[eivindan]

Hi,

I'm new to XSLT and have a problem with using data from a template in another one.

The input (word 2007):

Code: Select all

<w:p>

  <w:pPr>

    <w:pStyle w:val="MyStyle"/>

  </w:pPr>

  <w:r>

    <w:rPr>

      <w:b/>

    </w:rPr>

    <w:t>Some bold text</w:t>

  </w:r>  

</w:p>

Output should be (indesign tagged text):

Code: Select all

<pstyle:MyStyle><cstyle:Bold>Some bold text<cstyle:>  

I'm able to get the first part right (<pstyle:MyStyle>), but cannot figure out how to save the information in the w:b-element for later use in the w:t-element. All these elements can contain lots of other elements. Sometimes there are w:b, and sometimes there are others, so I cannot "hard code" xslt.

I'm greateful for any help!

Hi Eivid,

It is hard to give you a general solution but, for your example (adding also the namespace declaration):

Code: Select all

<w:p xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main">

    <w:pPr>

        <w:pStyle w:val="MyStyle"/>

    </w:pPr>

    <w:r>

        <w:rPr>

            <w:b/>

        </w:rPr>

        <w:t>Some bold text</w:t>

    </w:r> 

</w:p>

you can get the desired output with a stylesheet like below:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.1" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 

    xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"

    version="1.0">

    

    <xsl:output method="text"/>

    

    <xsl:template match="w:pStyle">

        <xsl:text><pstyle:</xsl:text>

        <xsl:value-of select="@w:val"/>

        <xsl:text>></xsl:text>

    </xsl:template>

    

  

    <xsl:template match="w:r/w:rPr/w:b">

        <xsl:text><cstyle:Bold></xsl:text>

        <xsl:apply-templates select="../following-sibling::*" mode="content"/>

        <xsl:text><cstyle:></xsl:text>

    </xsl:template>



    <xsl:template match="w:t" mode="content">

        <xsl:value-of select="."/>

    </xsl:template>

    

    <xsl:template match="text()"/>



</xsl:stylesheet>

Best Regards,
George
