Hello,

I am fairly new to oxygen. I now have received a file without a schema and plenty of other oddities.
I'd like to change it a bit to begin with. Can't figure out how to change the structure from:

Code: Select all

	<article>

		<header>

			<title></title>

			<author></author>

			<date></date>

		</header>

		<body>

			<text>Überschrift des Artikels</text>

		</body>

	</article>

to

Code: Select all

	<article title="" author="" date="">

		<text>   </text>

	</article>

Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks
b

Hi.

Oxygen does not have a specialized operation for this.

You can use an XSL stylesheet that does this:

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"

    exclude-result-prefixes="xs"

    version="2.0">

    

    <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>

    <!-- Match document -->

    <xsl:template match="/">

        <xsl:apply-templates mode="copy" select="."/>

    </xsl:template>

    <!-- Deep copy template -->

    <xsl:template match="*|text()|@*" mode="copy">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates mode="copy" select="@*"/>

            <xsl:apply-templates mode="copy"/>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>

    <!-- Handle default matching -->

    <xsl:template match="*"/>

    

    <!-- Convert-->

    <xsl:template match="article" mode="copy">

        <xsl:copy>

            <xsl:apply-templates mode="convert-to-attr" select="header/*"/>

            <xsl:apply-templates mode="copy" select="body/*"/>

        </xsl:copy>

    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="*" mode="convert-to-attr">

        <xsl:attribute name="{name()}" select="text()"/>

    </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

First part is a generic copy stylesheet (found in Oxygen/samples/xhtml/copy.xsl). The second part (Convert) addresses your specific situation, converts the elements from 'header' into attributes of the same name and copies the element from the 'body' element.

Create a transformation scenario in order to apply a stylesheet in Oxygen
To set up a transformation scenario, open the XML file and from the main menu invoke Document -> Transformation -> "Configure Transformation Scenario(s)" (there's a corresponding button in the toolbar)

In the "Configure Transformation Scenario(s)" dialog press "New" and select "XML transformation with XSLT" to create a new scenario:
1. Give it an appropriate name
2. Leave the "XML URL" field to its default(${currentFileURL})
3. In the XSL URL field browse for your stylesheet.
4. If you have an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet choose from the transformer combo Saxon-PE or Saxon-EE, otherwise you can leave it to Saxon6.5.5.
5. You can further tune the "Output". Please note that the "Save as" field must refer a single file, NOT an output directory. Use the editor variables to compose a generic name instead of a fixed one.
e.g in the "Save as" field you can specify: ${cfd}/${cfn}-out.xml which translates into <current-file-directory>/<current-filename>-out.xml
6. Press OK in the editing dialog and "Save and close".
7.To apply this transformation use : Document -> Transformation -> "Apply Transformation Scenario(s)" and the associated scenario will be used.

Adrian
