I have a DTD that looks like that:
and sitting on a GROUP-Element I need an <xsl:apply templates select=“… -rule getting me all the childs except the SEGMENT number 1.
I triede someting like that:
<xsl:apply-templates select=”*[not(SEGMENT[1])]"/>
but it doesn’t give me the desired effect. Can anybody tell me what I’m missing here?
Thanks in advance.
I hope you’re not still waiting for a response, but I don’t like to see the question there with no answer, so here it is anyway.
One approach is to select everything in the apply-templates, and then define a template rule for SEGMENT[1] that does nothing. To do this you may have to use a special mode, since there’s probably another apply-templates that does want to process SEGMENT[1].
A more direct solution is
select=“[not(self::SEGMENT)] | SEGMENT[position() > 1]“
The selects all the nodes that aren’t SEGMENTs, together with all the SEGMENTs after the first.
At XPath 2.0 you’ll be able to write
select=” except SEGMENT[1]”
but you’ll have to wait a bit for that!
