  • 1.  class.value mode with multiple values

    Posted 10-15-2013 13:38
    hi, I have an element that I want to have multiple class values by matching
    in class.value mode.

    I've read this doc, but still not sure how to proceed:
    http://www.sagehill.net/docbookxsl/HtmlCustomEx.html

    Currently I have these two templates:
    <xsl:template match="d:term" mode="class.value">
    <xsl:value-of select="'AAterm'" />
    </xsl:template>

    <xsl:template match="d:*[@conformance='experimental']" mode="class.value">
    <xsl:value-of select="local-name()" />
    <xsl:value-of select="' AAexperimental'" />
    </xsl:template>

    My DocBook source has a <term conformance="experimental">; it seems that
    the last template wins so this is the result:

    but I need


    the attribute conformance="experimental" can appear on multiple element
    types, (e.g., section, term)

    How to get the two templates to work together?

    thanks,
    --Tim

    Hi Tim,
    The processing model for XSLT, as stated in the standard, is "A node is
    processed by finding all the template rules with patterns that match the
    node, and choosing the best amongst them". There is an algorithm for
    decided which is "best", but it always comes down to one template. So the
    XSLT mechanism won't ever match on both of your templates.

    Within the body of that single chosen template, however, you can apply other
    templates to the same element using these methods:

    <xsl:call-template name="othertemplate"/>
    <xsl:apply-imports/>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="." mode="othermode"/>

    You can also use an xsl:choose within that single template to test the
    current element (xsl:when test="self::d:term") and add another value or call
    another template.

    You'll need to examine the organization of your class values to see which
    method would work best for you.

    thanks Bob, as usual your answer was spot-on. I used the xsl:choose method
    since that seemed the simplest way to go.
