docbook-apps

Hi, can anyone help me with a xsl question?

I'd like to do the following with an xsl template:

If a section or chapter contains an immediate child section with the same title, then
delete the child's

and

XIncludes are resolved priort XSLT processing by XML parser.

My question was aimed differently. Do you want once convert some
document to use new structure, or should the structure be changed every
time you process your document?

I'd like to apply it once to convert the document to a new structure.

Then you need simple identity transformation which will remove section
with duplicate title, something like:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section[title = ../title][preceding-sibling::section]">
<xsl:apply-template select="node()[not(self::title)]"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Depending on whether you want to keep XIncludes you need to switch
on/off XInclude in parser used by XSLT processor.

Thanks for the suggestion Rob.

When I try this I get:

XSLT-apply-templates: could not compile select expression '*[not(name() = 'title']'

Looks like you need to close the paren for the not(). Change:

<xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(name() = 'title']" />

To:

<xsl:apply-templates select="*[not(name() = 'title')]" />
