 Posted: Tue Mar 18, 2008 1:13 am Post subject: XSLT Question: How can I get an element tag name list? |
 |
|
I want to an xml inspector to do some statistic based on element tag name...
The book was talked about the method of doing math, but not many people taking about get a tag name list (they preferring process all the node/process the xml with known schema - not exlporing or inspecting xml)
Does anyone have good reference or have a xslt stylesheet for the xml inspectin purpose or xslt can give me a list of all element tag name?
thank you.

You can always check the W3 website. You can be pretty sure all possible tags are listed there. You can find the one for XSLT 1 here.

This is really simple and you should be able to do it (if not go back to the start of your book  )....I'm not going to give you code yet - if you don't have a solution in a week, then ill post an example.
So lets just think about what you need to do...you need a template that will match any element (or node) and output the name of that element.
Do you get what I'm hinting at?

He wants a list of tags for the specific XML document, not the tags available for XSL stylesheets.
kutar, you didn't seem to explain much about what you want or your intent. For all I know, this could be all you are after...
| Code: | <xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="name()"><br /></xsl:text>
</xsl:template> |
(maybe with some sprucing up or with a counter)
How about some sample input and desired output? |

Uhm, if you read that entire document there's a big change you'll know how to do it. Specifications are rather detailed...

Yeah thats the basic idea...
But there is a slight trick...you need a specific template to match on text(), be cause text() is a type of node() you would also pick up the text in non empty elements as a node.
| Code: |
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes" version="1.0" method="xml" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<ElementList>
<xsl:apply-templates />
</ElementList>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node()">
<Element Name="{name()}" />
<xsl:apply-templates />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text() | @* | comment()" />
</xsl:stylesheet>
