Mixing
XSLT - Looping through elements and convert to HTML
1
My question is traverse through an XML file and find the elements mentioned in variable 1 and replace them with the elements in variable 2 using simplest method.
Sample XML
Below is the sample XML file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<root>
<figure id="f0005">
<label>Fig. 1</label>
<caption id="cn0005">
<simple-para id="sp0015">Schematic diagram of the experimental setup.</simple-para>
</caption>
</figure>
<figure id="f0010">
<label>Fig. 2</label>
<caption id="cn0010">
<simple-para id="sp0020">Schematic drawing of the orifice plate.</simple-para>
</caption>
</figure>
</root>
Using this method I am able to get the output. But not the one specified in the required output heading. I think I am doing something wrong in the for loop in the stylesheet. Please share your thoughts.

You can simply use index-of and xsl:element to match as well as map the input names to output names:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
version="3.0">
<xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:variable name="els_element_name"
select="tokenize('label simple-para figure caption', 's+')"/>
<xsl:variable name="html_element_name"
select="tokenize('div div div div div', 's+')"/>
<xsl:template match="*[index-of($els_element_name, name()) > 0]">
<xsl:element name="{$html_element_name[index-of($els_element_name, name(current()))]}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="class" select="name()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtra/2
Another possible approach might be to create a stylesheet implementing the mapping and run it in XSLT 3.0 directly with the transform function:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform-alias"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
version="3.0">
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>
<xsl:variable name="stylesheet">
<axsl:stylesheet version="3.0">
<axsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$els_element_name">
<axsl:template match="{.}">
<axsl:element name="{let $p := position() return $html_element_name[$p]}">
<axsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<axsl:attribute name="class" select="'{.}'"/>
<axsl:apply-templates/>
</axsl:element>
</axsl:template>
</xsl:for-each>
</axsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="els_element_name"
select="tokenize('label simple-para figure caption', 's+')"/>
<xsl:variable name="html_element_name"
select="tokenize('div div div div div', 's+')"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:sequence select="$stylesheet"/>
<xsl:sequence
select="transform(
map {
'stylesheet-node' : $stylesheet,
'source-node' : .
}
)?output"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtra/4. For the real use case remove or comment out the <xsl:sequence select="$stylesheet"/> line but I have kept it in to show the created stylesheet.

Thanks @Martin. It is really simple and very useful. Thanks for your immediate response. I have tried the first option and will also try the second one.

The xslt above works well for one to one direct transformation. But I have a condition like: "Need to be used div or span based on the parent element. For example <caption> occurs in <figure> element has to be converted to <div ..> and <caption> occurs in <table> element has to be converted to span."
– VSr
Nov 22 '18 at 6:41
Well, XSLT is a transformation language where you can easily write match patterns and templates to express that e.g.<xsl:template match="figure/caption"><div><xsl:apply-templates/></div></xsl:template>and<xsl:template match="table/caption"><span><xsl:apply-templates/></span></xsl:template>, I am not sure why you expect to develop your own format to then compile it to XSLT.
– Martin Honnen
Nov 22 '18 at 7:04
On the other hand, the second approach I suggested is to a certain extent extensible to generate the right code if we assume that the first string contains the right patterns, see e.g. xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtra/5 where I have only changed the input and the variableels_element_name.

You can simply use index-of and xsl:element to match as well as map the input names to output names:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
version="3.0">
<xsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:variable name="els_element_name"
select="tokenize('label simple-para figure caption', 's+')"/>
<xsl:variable name="html_element_name"
select="tokenize('div div div div div', 's+')"/>
<xsl:template match="*[index-of($els_element_name, name()) > 0]">
<xsl:element name="{$html_element_name[index-of($els_element_name, name(current()))]}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<xsl:attribute name="class" select="name()"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtra/2
Another possible approach might be to create a stylesheet implementing the mapping and run it in XSLT 3.0 directly with the transform function:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:axsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform-alias"
exclude-result-prefixes="#all"
version="3.0">
<xsl:namespace-alias stylesheet-prefix="axsl" result-prefix="xsl"/>
<xsl:variable name="stylesheet">
<axsl:stylesheet version="3.0">
<axsl:mode on-no-match="shallow-copy"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$els_element_name">
<axsl:template match="{.}">
<axsl:element name="{let $p := position() return $html_element_name[$p]}">
<axsl:apply-templates select="@*"/>
<axsl:attribute name="class" select="'{.}'"/>
<axsl:apply-templates/>
</axsl:element>
</axsl:template>
</xsl:for-each>
</axsl:stylesheet>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="els_element_name"
select="tokenize('label simple-para figure caption', 's+')"/>
<xsl:variable name="html_element_name"
select="tokenize('div div div div div', 's+')"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:sequence select="$stylesheet"/>
<xsl:sequence
select="transform(
map {
'stylesheet-node' : $stylesheet,
'source-node' : .
}
)?output"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
https://xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtra/4. For the real use case remove or comment out the <xsl:sequence select="$stylesheet"/> line but I have kept it in to show the created stylesheet.

The xslt above works well for one to one direct transformation. But I have a condition like: "Need to be used div or span based on the parent element. For example <caption> occurs in <figure> element has to be converted to <div ..> and <caption> occurs in <table> element has to be converted to span."
– VSr
Nov 22 '18 at 6:41
Well, XSLT is a transformation language where you can easily write match patterns and templates to express that e.g.<xsl:template match="figure/caption"><div><xsl:apply-templates/></div></xsl:template>and<xsl:template match="table/caption"><span><xsl:apply-templates/></span></xsl:template>, I am not sure why you expect to develop your own format to then compile it to XSLT.
– Martin Honnen
Nov 22 '18 at 7:04
On the other hand, the second approach I suggested is to a certain extent extensible to generate the right code if we assume that the first string contains the right patterns, see e.g. xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net/bdxtra/5 where I have only changed the input and the variableels_element_name.

Where do your two variables come from? If they are hard-coded in the stylesheet, could they be transformed to a more convenient format?
