XLST - Help needed to write the XSL

[sarah12]

Hi,

I want to create a .XSL to transform a XML document like below :


?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="yes "?>

<nplbiblio >

<document >
<xp>XP000571793 </xp>
<doi>10.1117/12.205299</doi>
</document >

<document >
<xp>XP000571816 </xp>
<doi>10.1117/12.171773</doi>
</document >

</nplbiblio>


into


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no" ?>
<!DOCTYPE nplbiblio SYSTEM "npl-entities.dtd">
<nplbiblio xmlns:npl="http ://www.epo.org/npl" xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespace SchemaLocation= "npldoc v2.0.xsd" rundate="200801 23" filename="AIP_4 3.xml">

<document creadate="20080 523" status="N">
<xp>XP000571793 </xp>
<attribs>
<attrib name="doi-art">10.1117/12.20529</attrib>
</attribs>
</document>

<document creadate="20080 523" status="N">
<xp>XP000571816 </xp>
<attribs>
<attrib name="doi-art">10.1117/12.171779</attrib>
</attribs>
</document>

</nplbiblio>

Can you post the sample of your xsl so far? It might just be something really simple you're getting caught up on.

<?xml version='1.0' ?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" >
<xsl:template match="/">

<nplbiblio>

<xsl:for-each select="a:nplbi blio/a:document">
<document status="n">
<xp>
<xsl:value-of select="a:xp"/>
</xp>

<attribs>
<attrib name="doi-art">
<xsl:value-of select="a:doi"/>
</attrib>
</attribs>

</document>
</xsl:for-each>
</nplbiblio>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Thanks for the help ! I am not a XML expert and trying my best ...;}

Note the use of <xsl:output/>, the declaration of other namespaces, and the use of <xsl:copy-of/>
[code=xml]
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:styleshe et version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http ://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:npl="http ://www.epo.org/npl" xmlns:xsi="http ://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-system="npl-entities.dtd"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<nplbiblio>
<xsl:attribut e name="xsi:noNam espaceSchemaLoc ation">npldoc v2.0.xsd</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribut e name="rundate"> 20080123</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:for-each select="nplbibl io/document">

A million thanks ... I was indeed a bit far off !

I am currently studying closer the difference between "<xsl:copy-of> and <xsl:cvalue-of>.

Still learning ....
