Changing the order of the XML

[samueln12]

I want to change the order the caption according to their citation present in the text.

For example:

<book>
<chapter>
<title/>
<p>1 Some text goes here <xref rid="F1">Figure 1</xref></p>
<p>2 Some text goes here <xref rid="F2">Figure 2</xref></p>
<p>3 Some text goes here <xref rid="F4">Figure 4</xref></p>
<p>3 Some text goes here <xref rid="F3">Figure 3</xref></p>
<p>4 Some text goes here</p>
<p>5 Some text goes here <xref rid="F5">Figure 5</xref></p>
<p>6 Some text goes here <xref rid="F7">Figure 7</xref></p>
<p>7 Some text goes here</p>
<p></p>
<floats>
<figure id="F1">Figure 1. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F2">Figure 2. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F3">Figure 3. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F4">Figure 4. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F5">Figure 5. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F6">Figure 6. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F7">Figure 7. Figure one text goes here</figure>
</floats>
</chapter>
</book>

After changing the XML should look like this:

<book>
<chapter>
<title/>
<p>1 Some text goes here <xref rid="F1">Figure 1</xref>
<figure id="F1">Figure 1. Figure one text goes here</figure>
</p>
<p>2 Some text goes here <xref rid="F2">Figure 2</xref>
<figure id="F2">Figure 2. Figure one text goes here</figure>
</p>
<p>3 Some text goes here <xref rid="F4">Figure 4</xref></p>
<p>3 Some text goes here <xref rid="F3">Figure 3</xref>
<figure id="F3">Figure 3. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F4">Figure 4. Figure one text goes here</figure>
</p>
<p>4 Some text goes here</p>
<p>5 Some text goes here <xref rid="F5">Figure 5</xref>
<figure id="F5">Figure 5. Figure one text goes here</figure>
</p>
<p>6 Some text goes here <xref rid="F7">Figure 7</xref>
<figure id="F6">Figure 6. Figure one text goes here</figure>
<figure id="F7">Figure 7. Figure one text goes here</figure>
</p>
<p>7 Some text goes here</p>
<p></p>
<floats>
</floats>
</chapter>
</book>

Please guide me how to do this

Thanks
Sam

which language do you want to use for that?

[samueln12]

XSLT version=2.0

[jkmyoung]

?

<xsl:template match="xref">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="descendant::chapter/floats/figure[@id = current/@rid]"/>
</xsl:template>

I don't understand how you know where to put
<figure id="F6">Figure 6. Figure one text goes here</figure>

[samueln12]

?

<xsl:template match="xref">
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
  <xsl:copy-of select="descendant::chapter/floats/figure[@id = current/@rid]"/>
</xsl:template>

I don't understand how you know where to put
<figure id="F6">Figure 6. Figure one text goes here</figure>

That is the client requirement. If any citation missing we have to place after the preceding citation.

[jkmyoung]

Could you explain the figure3 and figure4 relation?

<xsl:template match="xref"> 
  <xsl:copy-of select="."/> 
  <xsl:apply-templates select="descendant::chapter/floats/figure[@id = current/@rid]"/> 
</xsl:template> 
<xsl:template match="floats"/> <!-- may or may not be necessary depending on your layout-->
<xsl:template match="figure">
    <xsl:for-each select="preceding-sibling::figure[1]">
      <xsl:if test="not(//xref[@rid = current()/@id])"><!-- orphan? -->
         <xsl:apply-templates select="."/>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
    <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</xsl:template>

[samueln12]

Could you explain the figure3 and figure4 relation?

If citation are not in order e.g. Figure 4 first and Figure 3 next, Figure 4 should placed after figure 3, even though figure 4 citation in first.

For example, if figure 3 not cited in the text then figure 3 go under figure 2. and Figure 4 place under the Figure 4 paragraph

I hope this will help u

Actually that pretty much completely screws it up.

In order to get correct order processing, you will have to process using the figures. Processing will have to be done linearly with much checking back, and with state variables, not parallel.

At this point I would recommend not using XSLT.
