This question follows on from the implications of this answer where I wanted to output, using XSLT 2.0, <persName> into an HTML URL, where <persName> can be found inside another <persName>, so all are turned into URLs.
<persName nymRef="#Raimunda_Faure">Raimunda uxor
<persName nymRef="#Bernard_Faure_Senior">Bernardi Fabri
senior</persName></persName>
Outputs to:
<a href="www.foo.com/person/Raimunda_Faure">Raimunda
uxor</a><a href="www.foo.com/person/Bernard_Faure_Senior">Bernardi
Fabri<a>
Using the code found below. And I also use it for another 'named entity' that gets output to a URL, <placeName>.
The problem is that <persName> can appear inside <placeName> like so (and vice versa):
<placeName type="event_loc" nymRef="#home_of_Guilhem_Vidal">in domo
<persName nymRef="#Guilhem_Vidal_MSP-AU" role="own">Willelmi Vitalis</persName></placeName>
What I'd like is a separation of <placeName> and <persName>, such that they only create nested URLs where the same named entity type is nested inside a named entity.
Schematically, these would recursively output all <placeName> and <persName>:
<persName>text
<persName>text</persname>
<persName>text</persname>
</persName>
<placeName>text
<placeName>text</placename>
<placeName>text</placename>
</placeName>
But these would only output the parent entity as URL, whether <placeName> or <persName>, and bypass the named entities contained within them:
<persName nymRef="#Raimunda_Faure">Raimunda
<placeName nymRef="#Toulouse">Toulouse</placename>
<placeName nymRef="Paris">Paris</placename>
</persName>
Output to <a href="www.foo.com/person/Raimunda_Faure">Raimunda Toulouse Paris</a>
<placeName nymRef="#Toulouse">Toulouse
<persName nymRef="#Raimunda_Faure">Raimunda</persname>
<persName nymRef="#Bernard_Faure">Bernard</persname>
</placeName>
Output to <a href="www.foo.com/place/Toulosue">Toulouse Raimunda Bernard</a>
Here are the two existing templates:
<xsl:template match="tei:text//tei:persName">
<xsl:variable name="nested" select="tei:persName[1]|
tei:persName[1]/following-sibling::node()" />
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="concat($paramPersonurl,substring-after(@nymRef,'#'))"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() except $nested" />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$nested" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tei:text//tei:placeName">
<xsl:variable name="nested" select="tei:placeName[1]|
tei:placeName[1]/following-sibling::node()" />
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="concat($paramPersonurl,substring-after(@nymRef,'#'))"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() except $nested" />
</xsl:element>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$nested" />
</xsl:template>
It seems I should add an exclusion of the other named entity to either <xsl:apply-templates select="node() except $nested" /> or <xsl:apply-templates select="$nested" /> using something like [node()[name() != 'persName']]but I've not had success.
Thanks in advance.
Add a template
<xsl:template match="tei:persName/tei:placeName | tei:placeName/tei:persName">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
