Splitting elements with XSLT?

[booiboa]

Hi!

Sitting with a document conversion/transformation where an element needs to split and I do not know how to handle it with XSL.

An example of input data:

Code: Select all

<document>

  <container>

    <p>TEXT HERE</p>

    <graphic ref="test.eps"/>

    <p>MORE TEXT</p>

    <graphic ref="newtest.eps"/>

    <p>EVEN MORE TEXT</p>

  </container>

</document>

An example of what I want to see in the output data:

Code: Select all

<document>

   <container>

      <p>TEXT HERE</p>

      <graphic ref="test.eps"/>

      <p>MORE TEXT</p>

   </container>

   <container>

      <graphic ref="newtest.eps"/>

      <p>EVEN MORE TEXT</p>

   </container>

</document>

The rule here is that only one graphic can exist in each container, so you want to match second graphic within a container and split the container.

What I like to do is match the second and put in this:

</container>
<container>

but that is not valid XML!

So I thought that a split-function, like for instance Arbortext Editor have, would solve the situation.
Any ideas someone?

Thanx!

Hi again,

Found a way myself.
I use the CDATA-functionality, then it works.
I do this:

Code: Select all

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[</container><container>

]]></xsl:text>

Not nice, but works!
BGood everyone!
