following code:
<elem1> This is an example text
<elem2> and i want to select all of this
<elem3> and apply a template on elem3 </elem3>
<elem3> so it gets bold </elem3>
exampletext </elem2>
exampletext </elem1>
The output should look like:
This is an example text and i want to select all of this <b>and apply a template on elem3</b><b> so it gets bold </b> exampletext exampletext
How can I do this with xsl? If I use 'text()' or select'.' while looping through every element with for-each select="*" I get some of the text many times. How do I archive the outcome I wrote earlier? Even if I do a template for every element I don't know how to get the text only of this node and not of the child. And it should also stay in the same order, so I want the part of text before I enter a child node and so on...
It may be a dumb question, but im new and im desperate about that :/
Just use XSLT's default recursive processing model. For example, the following stylesheet:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="elem3">
<b>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</b>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
will copy all text nodes (using the built-in template rules) and add a <b> wrapper around those contained in elem3 elements, to return:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
This is an example text
and i want to select all of this
<b> and apply a template on elem3 </b><b> so it gets bold </b>
exampletext
exampletext
If you prefer, you could add:
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()" />
</xsl:template>
and get:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
