[RESOLVED] XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
I have Hamlet in XML. I'm to write a stylesheet. I'm stuck on the <persona> tag. Any help would be greatly appreciated. The "apply-template" doesn't seem to iterate through the <persona> tag and I can't get the for-each loop to work.
Code:
<XML>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="hamlet.xsl"?>
<PLAY>
<TITLE>The Tragedy of Hamlet, Prince of Denmark</TITLE>
<FM>
<P>Text placed in the public domain by Moby Lexical Tools, 1992.</P>
<P>SGML markup by Jon Bosak, 1992-1994.</P>
<P>XML version by Jon Bosak, 1996-1998.</P>

<PERSONAE>
<TITLE>Dramatis Personae</TITLE>
<PERSONA>CLAUDIUS, king of Denmark. </PERSONA>
<PERSONA>HAMLET, son to the late, and nephew to the present king.</PERSONA>
<PERSONA>POLONIUS, lord chamberlain. </PERSONA>
<PERSONA>HORATIO, friend to Hamlet.</PERSONA>
<PERSONA>LAERTES, son to Polonius.</PERSONA>
<PERSONA>LUCIANUS, nephew to the king.</PERSONA>
What I have so far:
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head><title><xsl:value-of select="PLAY/TITLE"/></title></head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="PLAY"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="PLAY">
<xsl:value-of select="FM" /><br /><br />
<xsl:value-of select="PERSONAE/TITLE" /><br />
<xsl:value-of select="PERSONAE/PERSONA"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Re: XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
Without the XML to test it, I would try something like this.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head><title><xsl:value-of select="PLAY/TITLE"/></title></head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="PLAY"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="PLAY">
<xsl:value-of select="FM" /><br /><br />
<xsl:value-of select="PERSONAE/TITLE" /><br />
<xsl:call-template name="PERSONA"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="PERSONA">
<xsl:for-each select="//PERSONAE/PERSONA">
<xsl:value-of select="."/><br />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Re: XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
That was great!! but I have one small snag...
this is more of the xml file..it's long..your example gives me every <persona> tag..not just the ones in the <personae> tag....how do I compensate for that?

Re: XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
All the persona nodes that are appearing are sibling nodes of the parente node. You will notice the persona nodes inside the pgroup nodes are not appearing.
Re: XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
Your right...what a sneaky....!
Now I got to figure out how to match a persona text in order to display it right...this....
LUCIANUS, nephew to the king.
A Gentleman
A Priest.
FRANCISCO, a soldier.
REYNALDO, servant to Polonius.
Players.
Two Clowns, grave-diggers.
FORTINBRAS, prince of Norway.
A Captain.
English Ambassadors.
GERTRUDE, queen of Denmark, and mother to Hamlet.
OPHELIA, daughter to Polonius.
should be, I think
Lucianus, nephew to the king.
..
..
PLAYERS
Two Clowns, grave-diggers.
..
..
ENGLISH AMBASSADORS.
Gertrude, queen of Denmark, andmother to Hamlet.
...
Can I do something like if <persona> = players then all cap??
Re: XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
Try restating the question. I'm not following what you are asking.
Re: XML - getting a child to use a for-each loop
I'm trying to make it more readable...better presentation
