Sample Files for the XSLT Document Map
This example includes the XSLT file used in the XSLT Document Map.
The example demonstrates using the key()
function and <xsl:key>
element to group data into categories.
The mode
attribute is used to produce two different tables from the same XML data. For more information about modes, see xsl:apply-templates Element.
XML File (books.xml)
Use the Sample XML File (books.xml). Below the line <?xml version='1.0'?>
, add the following line:
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="books.xsl"?>
Ancillary XML File (ancillary.xml)
The books.xsl file loads the following XML file to demonstrate the document()
function:
<?xml version='1.0'?> <document> <watermark>Scootney Publishing</watermark> <copyright>Copyright 2000, Scootney Publishing. All Rights Reserved.</copyright> </document>
XSLT File (books.xsl)
This file is the same one that is shown in the document map. It provides examples of common tagging within an XSLT file.
<?xml version='1.0'?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html"/> <xsl:variable name="recentdate">2001-01-01</xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="ancillary" select="document('ancillary.xml')"/> <xsl:key name="categ_key" match="book" use="genre"/> <xsl:key name="author_key" match="book" use="author"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <head> <title>Scootney Publishing: Special Exhibit</title> <style> h1 {font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Univers,sans-serif; font-size: 18pt; background-color: #00CCCC; width: 90%} h2 {font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Univers,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; width: 90%} h3 {font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Univers,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt; background-color: gold; width: 90%; border-width: 1; border-style: solid} h4 {font-family: Arial,Helvetica,Univers,sans-serif; font-size: 11pt; background-color: gold; width: 33%; border-width: 1; border-style: solid} </style> </head> <body> <div style="position:absolute;font-size:96; font-family:Times New Roman;color:#F0F0F0;z-index:-1"> <xsl:value-of select="$ancillary//watermark"/> </div> <h1> Scootney Publishing: Special Exhibit Catalog</h1> <!-- Group by catalog in first pass, then by author. --> <xsl:apply-templates select="catalog" mode="grp_categ"/> <xsl:apply-templates select="catalog" mode="grp_author"/> <p/> <div style="font-size:9"> <xsl:value-of select="$ancillary//copyright"/> </div> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="catalog" mode="grp_categ"> <h2>Titles Grouped by Genre</h2> <xsl:for-each select="book[count(. | key('categ_key', genre)[1])=1]"> <h3> <xsl:value-of select="genre"/></h3> <xsl:for-each select="key('categ_key', genre)"> <xsl:sort select="title"/> <table border="0" width="75%"> <tr> <th width="10%" align="right">Title</th> <td width="90%" align="left"><xsl:value-of select="title"/></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="10%" align="right">Author</th> <td width="90%" align="left"><xsl:value-of select="author"/></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="10%" align="right">Copyright</th> <td width="90%" align="left"> <xsl:value-of select="publish_date"/> <xsl:if test="substring(publish_date,1,4) >= substring($recentdate,1,4)">   <b>new</b> </xsl:if> </td> </tr> <tr> <th width="10%" align="right">Price</th> <td width="90%" align="left"><xsl:value-of select="price"/></td> </tr> <tr> <th width="10%" align="right" valign="top">Summary</th> <td width="90%" align="left"><xsl:value-of select="description"/></td> </tr> </table> <hr width="75%" align="left"/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="catalog" mode="grp_author"> <h2>Titles Grouped by Author</h2> <xsl:for-each select="book[generate-id() = generate-id(key('author_key', author)[1])]"> <xsl:sort select="author"/> <h4> <xsl:value-of select="author"/></h4> <xsl:for-each select="key('author_key', author)"> <xsl:sort select="title"/>  <xsl:value-of select="title"/><br/> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
