RE: How to parse an element with content and child-elements


This is very simple -- you use two templates. For example:
 
<xsl:template match="content">
 <p>
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
 
This one put in the P tags around the content and processes any children (both text AND other
elements). Text simply comes out as text (there's a default template for text). Any other child
element comes out matching a template for that child if you provide it. So you're other template
would be this:
 
<xsl:template match="other-content">
 <br/>
  <font color="red">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </font>
 <br/>
</xsl:template>
 
When the XSL processor finds the Other-content tag, it looks for the second template
and inserts the BR and Font tags. The <xsl:apply-templates> tag inside of the template
for Other-content simply makes sure that the text children or any other element children
are also formatted and output.

Subject: How to parse an element with content and child-elements

Hi,
I want to parse XML-elements wich contain text AND other elements (Example). the stylesheet should print the value
of the element (Example: content), and if it passes a child element it should format this with new rules. it is important that the child element stays at his place in the text.
 
Im sure this is possible, but i have no idea how to realize :(
 
My Example:
 
DTD:
<!ELEMENT content ( #PCDATA | other-content ) >
 
 
XML-File:
 
<xml-file>
<content>
    blablabla bla bla bla bla  
        <other-content>blub etc etc etc</other-content> 
    bla bla bla
</content>
</xml-file>
 
 
 
I want to format this XML code into HTML:
 
<p>
blablabla bla bla bla bla 
    <br/>
       <font color="red">blub etc etc etc</font>
    <br/>
bla bla bla
</p>
 
thanks for any help
