An XSL to do what? format? transform? sort? filter?

Try http://www.altova.com they have GUI based WYSIWYM (What You See Is
What You Mean) editors that can help you create XSLTs

children relationship for each parent in my xml.

Hi,

Perhaps you are looking for something like this:

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

<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="parents">
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="2html"/>
</ul>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="2html">
<li>
<span style="color:blue"><xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/></span>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()" mode="2html"/>
</ul>
</li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

regards,

Hi,Joris:

I checked the html output. it is still a little bit different than I thought.

How can we have something like:

p1 1000
c1 1001
c2 1002
p2 2000
c3 2001
p3 3000

thanks.

Eric

here you go:

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

<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes"/>

<xsl:template match="parents">
<html>
<head>
<style type="text/css">
p {margin:0px}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="2html"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*" mode="2html">
<p style="padding-left:{count(ancestor::*)}em"><xsl:value-of select="name"/> <xsl:value-of select="id"/></p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="child" mode="2html"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

If you can compile a Bash shell, then you can try

start () {
case ${XML_ELEMENT_STACK[1]} in
child) [ "$parent_name" ] && printf '%s %s\n' $parent_{name,id}
unset parent_{name,id}
;;
esac
}
data () {
local e=${XML_ELEMENT_STACK[1]}
case $e in
name|id)
pp_append ${XML_ELEMENT_STACK[*]|/^(child|parent)$}
strcpy $2_$e $1
;;
esac
}
end () {
case ${XML_ELEMENT_STACK[1]} in
parent) printf '%s %s\n' $parent_{name,id}
child) printf '\t%s %s\n' $child_{name,id}
esac
}
xml -s start -d data -e end "`< file.xml`"
