My project turns XML into HTML. I need to insert DIV elements in certain places and (so far) I haven't found a way of doing it.
My input XML, over which I have no control, looks like this:
<response>
<result>
<doc>
<str name="item_A">A</str>
<arr name="B">
<str>B1</str>
<str>B2</str>
...
</arr>
<str name="item_B">C</str>
<str name="item_D">D</str>
<str name="item_E">E</str>
...
</doc>
<doc>
...
</doc>
</result>
</response>
My XSL, which does almost everything I need, looks like this:
<body>
<div id="page">
<xsl:apply-templates select="response/result/doc"/>
</div>
</body>
<xsl:template match="doc/str">
<xsl:if test="@name='item_A'">
<div class="item_A">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</div>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@name='item_B'">
<div class="item_B">
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</div>
</xsl:if>
...
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="doc/arr"/>
<xsl:template match="doc/date"/>
This probably looks a little cumbersome, but I must ignore some <str> nodes AND each item must have a different class. To achieve the control I need, I must insert at least one DIV (preferably two, nested) around all the output from each <doc> node. Such output would look like this, with the two new DIVs classed as "doc_node1" and "doc_node2":
<body>
<div id="page">
<div class="doc_node1">
<div class="doc_node2">
<div class="item_A">
content of item A
</div>
<div class="item_B">
content of item B
</div>
...
</div>
</div>
<div class="doc_node1">
<div class="doc_node2">
...
</div>
</div>
</div>
</body>
I've tried quite a few methods, all of which have failed. Can anyone tell me how to do this?
