Hello Guru's
I have a problem with some display, and must have misunderstood something
fundamental, but let me explain:
I have some input XML (simplified):
<Root>
<Outer Cond="true">
<Inner Cond="true"/>
<Inner Cond="true"/>
</Outer>
<Outer Cond="true">
<Inner Cond="true"/>
<Inner Cond="true"/>
<Inner Cond="true"/>
<Inner Cond="true"/>
</Outer>
</Root>
My stylesheet is something like this:
<xsl:template match="Root">
<xsl:apply-templates select="Outer[Cond='true']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Outer[Cond='true']">
<b>Outer element</b><br/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="Inner[Cond='true']"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="Inner[Cond='true']">
<i>Inner element</i><br>
</xsl:template>
The result I want (and expected) is:
<b>Outer element</b>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<b>Outer element</b>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
But what I get is this:
<b>Outer element</b>
<b>Outer element</b>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
<i>Inner element</i>
If I had called Outer, then Inner from Root, I would expect the last result,
but I tried structuring the code so it should parse deeply.
How do I get the first result, preferibly using template match.
Sincerely
Ragulf Pickaxe :)
