Hi,

I have a small XSLT that sorts a definition list. In a transformation scenario I defined:

XML URL: ${currentFileURL}
XSL URL: myScript.xsl
Output file: ${currentFileURL}

So the source file is the output file, too.

Sample Topic


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<!DOCTYPE topic PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">

<topic id="foo">

  <title></title>

  <body>

    <dl>

      <dlentry id="C">

        <dt>C</dt>

        <dd></dd>

      </dlentry>

      <dlentry id="B">

        <dt>B</dt>

        <dd></dd>

      </dlentry>

      <dlentry id="A">

        <dt>A</dt>

        <dd></dd>

      </dlentry>

    </dl>

  </body>

</topic>

XSLT

Code: Select all


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

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

    xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

    xmlns:xd="http://www.oxygenxml.com/ns/doc/xsl"

    exclude-result-prefixes="xs xd"

    version="2.0">

    <xd:doc scope="stylesheet">

        <xd:desc>

            <xd:p><xd:b>Created on:</xd:b> Oct 30, 2015</xd:p>

            <xd:p><xd:b>Author:</xd:b> Stefan Eike</xd:p>

            <xd:p></xd:p>

        </xd:desc>

    </xd:doc>

    

    <xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"

        doctype-public="-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN"

        doctype-system="topic.dtd"/>   

    <xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>



    <xsl:template match="@* | node()">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates select="@* | node()"/>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>



    <xsl:template match="*[contains(@class,' topic/dl ')]">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates select="*[contains(@class,' topic/dlentry ')]">

                <xsl:sort select="@id" data-type="text"/>

            </xsl:apply-templates>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>



</xsl:stylesheet>

The script works, but it resolves implicit attributes:

Output

Code: Select all


<!DOCTYPE topic

  PUBLIC "-//OASIS//DTD DITA Topic//EN" "topic.dtd">

<topic xmlns:ditaarch="http://dita.oasis-open.org/architecture/2005/"

       id="foo"

       ditaarch:DITAArchVersion="1.2"

       domains="(topic hi-d)

                (topic ut-d)

                (topic indexing-d)

                (topic hazard-d)

                (topic abbrev-d)

                (topic pr-d)

                (topic sw-d)

                (topic ui-d)"

       class="- topic/topic ">

   <title class="- topic/title "/>

   <body class="- topic/body ">

      <dl>

         <dlentry id="A" class="- topic/dlentry ">

            <dt class="- topic/dt ">A</dt>

            <dd class="- topic/dd "/>

         </dlentry>

         <dlentry id="B" class="- topic/dlentry ">

            <dt class="- topic/dt ">B</dt>

            <dd class="- topic/dd "/>

         </dlentry>

         <dlentry id="C" class="- topic/dlentry ">

            <dt class="- topic/dt ">C</dt>

            <dd class="- topic/dd "/>

         </dlentry>

      </dl>

   </body>

</topic>

How can I avoid that? Is a transformations scenario the correct way to implement a simple sort mechanism like that? How would you implement this?

Thanks and best regards,
Stefan

Hi Stefan,

to get rid of the default attributes just change the settings for your transformation scenario and disable "expand default attributes".

But doing that you would have to change the code as well since it can no more read the class attributes. E.g.

Code: Select all

<xsl:template match="dl">

	<xsl:copy>

		<xsl:apply-templates select="dlentry">

			<xsl:sort select="@id" data-type="text"/>

		</xsl:apply-templates>

	</xsl:copy>

</xsl:template>

There is no simple way to read the default attributes in your script but keep them from beeing copied to the output

Hi Patrik,

herzlichen Dank, hat funktioniert.

Works as expected.

Have a nice weekend
