xmlxsltwsdlxslt-1.0

Include children


I have WSDL document and I want to print out content of all <documentation> tags. Now let's assume this tag can contain also some HTML tags for formatting or adding images.

I want XSLT template to do this but I only get the plain text content of the tags.

This is my XSLT template (named my-xslt.xsl):

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/service">
<html>
<body>

<xsl:apply-templates select="documentation"/>

</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="documentation">
<div>documentation: <xsl:copy-of select="."/></div>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Now let's say I have this WSDL (it is a copy of this WSDL: http://www.webservicex.net/stockquote.asmx?WSDL enhanced of strong and img HTML tags in documentation tag + added xslt style):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="my-xslt.xsl"?>

    </wsdl:port>
  </wsdl:service>
</wsdl:definitions>

The resulting HTML contains only plain text without the image and "strong test" is not bolded.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Thank you


Solution

  • The problem with your stylesheet is that it disregards the namespaces of the original XML. In order to copy the documentation elements with their inner HTML tags, try:

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" 
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
    
    <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
    <body>
        <xsl:apply-templates select="//wsdl:documentation"/>
    </body>
    </html>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="wsdl:documentation">
        <div>documentation: <xsl:copy-of select="."/></div>
    </xsl:template>
    
    </xsl:stylesheet>
