How to combine the following-sibling is same element

samueln12

Hello Guru's,

I need a help from u guys, I am working on XSLT and my XML is like this

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <text><i>Hello</i><i> world</i>... <i>Here</i> we <i>go</i>... <i>This</i> <i>is</i> for sample</text>
 

transform to

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <text><i>Hello world</i>... <i>Here</i> we <i>go</i>... <i>This</i> <i>is</i> for sample</text>
 

If my immediate following sibling is same element, i want to combine it in single element.

Please help me out how to write XSLT transformation for this.

Thanks
Sam

combine the following-sibling axis with a tag name test (name()), although it would be easier to use a script on the xml string and remove consecutive end and start tags.

Hey Sam u can use as following..

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 <xsl:template match="i">

<xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::i])">

    <xsl:value-of select="'&lt;i&gt;'" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>    

</xsl:if>

<xsl:apply-templates/>

<xsl:if test="not(following-sibling::*[1][self::i])">

    <xsl:value-of select="'&lt;/i&gt;'" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>    

</xsl:if>

</xsl:template>

This works fine for me.. Hope this helps..
