I'm putting together a simple XSL stylesheet so colleagues can preview XML that they are editing in their browser. One element has many different attribute values, each of which needs to be rendered differently.
<hi rend="b">
needs to be bold,
<hi rend="b i">
needs to be bold and italic, and so on.
What do I need to do in the XSL to make this happen?
I've done a good deal of Googling and haven't found a solution yet; perhaps it's a very basic question, but any help very gratefully received.
Because you wrote your colleagues preview XML in their browser I assume that you expect an XSLT-1.0 solution. The following templates copy the hi element and replaces the attribute with b and i tags. The copied hi tags are ignored by the browser.
However, in this solution you have to create combinations of each attribute value.
<xsl:template match="hi[contains(@rend,'i')]">
<xsl:copy>
<i><xsl:apply-templates /></i>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="hi[contains(@rend,'b')]">
<xsl:copy>
<b><xsl:apply-templates /></b>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="hi[contains(@rend,'i') and contains(@rend,'b')]">
<xsl:copy>
<i><b><xsl:apply-templates /></b></i>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Output:
<hi><i><b>
...3...
</b></i></hi>
<hi><i>
...1...
</i></hi>
<hi><b>
...2...
</b></hi>
