Very Computer

I have a problem that someone may have seen before. I have an XML
document that for the sake of discussion is:

<me>
<name>Dave</name>
<mood>I am <b>happy</b>.</mood>
</me>

I want to perform an XSL transformation for <mood>, but preserve all the
HTML formatting tags between the tags referenced in the XSL statement.
For example, I can use the following XSL:

<xsl:template match="me">
<xsl: value-of select="mood"/>
</xsl:template>

Which produces:

I am happy.

What I'm looking for is an XSL command that will produce:

I am <b> happy</b>.

Any suggestions?

-Dave

Quote:} <xsl: value-of

presumably you had xsl:value-of that gives the string value of the node
If you want element nodes to be copied, you don't want the string value,
you want a copy of the node
<xsl:copy-of

David
(xsl-list is probably better than c.t.xml for xsl questions)

You could match the html tags (if there are not too many..)
    ...
    <xsl:apply-templates select="mood"
    ...

<xsl:template match="mood">
    <xsl:apply-templates select="*"/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="text()">
    <xsl:value-of/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="b|B">
    <xsl:element name="B">
        <xsl:value-of/>
    </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>

for xsl questions microsoft.public.xsl...

Is there any stanadard to write XML files.
I mean something like DOM or SAX but for writing.

Why the sax parsing stop as soon as it finds the
first endElement ?

The parser goes to endDocument() as soon as it
finds the first endElement (like </stuff> ) in my
xml file.....

Is there somenone who knows where my error can
be ?

Hard to know without seeing your data. Can we see your file?

In fact, with this exemple, the parser doesn't work :

********** MyHandler.java ************

import org.xml.sax.HandlerBase;
import org.xml.sax.AttributeList;

public class MyHandler extends org.xml.sax.HandlerBase {

public MyHandler() {
        super();

Quote:}

  public void endElement (String name)
  {
        System.out.println("End element: " + name);
  }
  public void startElement (String name, AttributeList atts)
  {
        System.out.println("Start element: " + name);
  }

Quote:}

*********** SAXApp.java ************

import org.xml.sax.Parser;
import org.xml.sax.DocumentHandler;
import org.xml.sax.helpers.ParserFactory;

public class SAXApp {

        static final String parserClass =
"com.ibm.xml.parser.SAXDriver";

  public static void main (String args[])
        throws Exception
  {
        Parser parser = ParserFactory.makeParser(parserClass);
        DocumentHandler handler = new MyHandler();
        parser.setDocumentHandler(handler);

          parser.parse("test.xml");

  }

Quote:}

********* test.xml ***********

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<message>
        <date>2000-03-20</date>
        <expediteur>martin</expediteur>
</message>

*********** and the answer is ********

Start element : message
Start element : date
End element : date

************* The problem ***********

Why the sax parsing stop as soon as it finds the first endElement ?

The parser doesn't parse all my xml file, and I don't know why...

Thanks for your answer, Marc.

I don't see anything obviously wrong with your data or your code. I ran
your file just fine under Sun's parser, using very similar code.

Is there any possibility you're throwing an exception once you get past
the </date> tag and you're not reporting it? I wonder about the
possibility of illegal characters in your file. Any accent marks on
expediteur? You're not declaring the encoding as "ISO-8859-1", so the
parser might be complaining strenuously if it is finding accented
characters.

Other than that ... ?

Yes: DOM or SAX. Build a DOM tree and pass it to code that
will generate XML syntax from its contents. DOM Level 3 will
provide a standardized API for writing out the contents of a
DOM; until that's ready, you can use one of the many
off-the-shelf routines that perform this function.

Or implement the parser side of SAX in your own code and
generate a series of event calls to a SAX listener which
generates XML syntax. Again, there are many off-the-shelf
implementations available.

If you're using the IBM/Apache parser, see the DOMWriter and
SAXWriter sample programs that come with it.
