Want to copy child elements without having default namespace

Want to copy child elements without having default namespace - html

I am doing XML to HTML conversion and I worked out the xslt and on this, single problem still remains that I could not solve.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

But, here, my problem is, I did not get any child elements such as em, a from the template <xsl:template match="o/content". What's mistake I have made on this. please explain.Thanks in advance.

If you just want to copy all the children of <content>...</content> change your <xsl:template match="o/content"> to:
<xsl:template match="o/content">
<section class="content">
<xsl:copy-of select="node()"/>
</section>
</xsl:template>

What have I done wrong here?

Your first problem is that you are testing this code in an environment that gives very poor diagnostics. Ideally, test your code in an XSLT development tool such as Oxygen. If you can only test it in the browser, use a browser like Chrome with a decent developer's console.
When I run it in XSLTfiddle (https://www.xsltfiddle.liberty-development.net) I get a clear error message:
Error executing XSLT at line 70 : An attribute node (dir) cannot be
created after a child of the containing element. Most recent element
start tag was output at line 58 of module
If you look at the surrounding code:
<div class="fieldCounsel">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="#ItemPosition='1' and Assistant!=''">
<xsl:text>1st: </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="#ItemPosition='2'">
<xsl:text>2nd: </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="#ItemPosition='3'">
<xsl:text>3rd: </xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
<xsl:attribute name="dir">
<xsl:value-of select="//Settings/Direction"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="StudyPoint"/>
</div>
It's perfectly clear that the xsl:choose is creating a text node, and you then follow this with an instruction that creates an attribute. You need to create the attributes of an element before you create the children.

Creating and understanding XML transform

I am trying to brush up on my XML skills and was taking a course on it. There is one where I am tasked to create a XML transform from an XML instance that contains APA and MLA citations.
This is where I am stuck, I have set up my XPaths but, not sure if they are set up properly. Also looking at the transform provided to me I am not sure where to put each value-of statement to get the correct results.
Any help and explanation would be greatly appreciated!
My Code:

Display empty XML data node as text message

I am fairly new to xml and I'm having a weird problem with templates. For empty data nodes, instead of displaying a blank space where the data should be, I want to display a message like 'None Found' or 'No Data' on an html page. I have done both an xsl:choose statement and 2 xsl:if statements with no success. I already know this particular node is empty, I just want to show a message instead of a blank space. The Otherwise or False statements just don't seem to run at all. Please help!! What am I doing wrong here?

The HTML Result
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "XSLT-compat">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">
<title>Person Results</title>
</head>
<div style="font-weight:bold">Alias(es):</div>

<p>
<ul>082967</ul>
</p>
<p>
<ul>020568</ul>
</p>
</html>

Change the template match="Root/findings/dobs" to this:
<xsl:template match="Root/findings/dobs">
<p>
<xsl:for-each select="dob">
<xsl:variable name="dobHasData" select="boolean(normalize-space(.))"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$dobHasData">
<ul><xsl:apply-templates select="data"/></ul>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>None found</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</p>
</xsl:template>
Or even more template matching like:
<xsl:template match="Root/findings/dobs">
<p>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dob"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dob">
<xsl:variable name="dobHasData" select="boolean(normalize-space(.))"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$dobHasData">
<ul><xsl:apply-templates select="data"/></ul>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>None found</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
And this last template could also be splitted in two short ones:
<xsl:template match="dob[normalize-space(.)]">
<ul><xsl:apply-templates select="data"/></ul>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dob[not(normalize-space(.))]">
<xsl:text>None found</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Why doesn't this XSLT code return anything?

It's returning this:
Daisy
2016-02-29
0
This is what I expected it to output:
Daisy
2016-02-29
1
But it isn't returning the one. Why?
Do I have to exit the template //videos_pub?
If so, how do I do it?

I realized by doing the :
<xsl:with-param name="id" select="//video/#id"/>
I was selecting the node itself not the value of the "//video/#id" expression.
I fixed it by doing this:
<xsl:with-param name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="//video/#id"/>
</xsl:with-param>
Now my paramhas the value of the node //video/#id.
Thank you all for your answers.

You are overusing the // syntax, which is a "brute force" way of using XPath when you're not sure of a better way. You're also using "going around your elbow to get to your ***" expressions like //video[#id= $id]/./#data.
Also, I assume you want to output info for all of the videos, not just the first one.
Here is how you would do that, without all the sloppy stuff:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes" />
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd" />
<!-- <xsl:imports href="1.xsl"/> -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>2.</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="xml_tube/videos_pub/video"/>
</ul>
<!-- <xsl:apply-templates select="//comentarios"/> -->
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="video">
<li>
<xsl:call-template name="publisher">
<xsl:with-param name="video" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="data">
<xsl:with-param name="video" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="comment">
<xsl:with-param name="id" select="#id"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="publisher">
<xsl:param name="video"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$video/#publisher"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="data">
<xsl:param name="video"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$video/#data"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="comment">
<xsl:param name="id"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="count(/xml_tube/comentarios/comentario[#refV = $id])" />
</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And if you want to make it really efficient, you can use an xsl:key to help count the comments:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
indent="yes" />
<xsl:output doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd" />
<xsl:key name="kVideoComments" match="comentario" use="#refV" />
<!-- <xsl:imports href="1.xsl"/> -->
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>2.</title>
</head>
<body>
<ul>
<xsl:apply-templates select="xml_tube/videos_pub/video"/>
</ul>
<!-- <xsl:apply-templates select="//comentarios"/> -->
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="video">
<li>
<xsl:call-template name="publisher">
<xsl:with-param name="video" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="data">
<xsl:with-param name="video" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:call-template name="comment">
<xsl:with-param name="id" select="#id"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</li>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="publisher">
<xsl:param name="video"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$video/#publisher"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="data">
<xsl:param name="video"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="$video/#data"/>
</p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="comment">
<xsl:param name="id"/>
<p>
<xsl:value-of select="count(key('kVideoComments', $id))" />
</p>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Both of these output:

like this multiple tables.
Now I need to create different worksheets (for workbook / Excel file) for different tables. no of worksheets depends on no of tables. I need to do this using Xslt.
No of tables are not constant it will differ.
If you have any idea please let me know. I did some research in the Internet, but I couldn’t find anything.
I wrote the following xsl. I was able to generate multiple sheets. But the table is only printed on the first sheet. I want to have the table over all sheets.

Your approach in disabling output escaping to do the output is not a recommended approach, not least because it makes the XML extremely hard to read. It also looks like you add HTML to your Excel spreadsheet. Excel can import HTML, I believe, but it may be better to use "XML Spreadsheet 2003" format here.
Firstly, you need to get Excel to do the hard-work for you. Open up Excel, enter some test data to represent what you want your table to look like, then save it in "XML Spreadsheet 2003" format. You can then open it in Notepad to see what Excel expects. Indeed, you can copy and paste a lot of it into Excel.
The approach you need to take in your XSLT is a template based approach. First start off by matching body elements. In the template you can output the Workbook element, and include an xsl:apply-templates to look for any table elements. For example
<xsl:template match="body">
<Workbook>
<!-- More properties here -->
<Styles>
<!-- Styles here -->
</Styles>
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//table" />
</Workbook>
</xsl:template>
Then, the template matching table will be used to output. Note the use of "Attribute Value Templates** to calculate the number of columns and rows
<xsl:template match="table">
<Worksheet ss:Name="Sheet{count(preceding::table) + 1}">
<Table ss:ExpandedColumnCount="{count(thead/tr/th)}" ss:ExpandedRowCount="{count(.//tr)}" x:FullColumns="1" x:FullRows="1" ss:DefaultRowHeight="15">
<xsl:apply-templates select=".//tr" />
</Table>
<WorksheetOptions xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel">
<!-- options -->
</WorksheetOptions>
</Worksheet>
</xsl:template>
You can then carry on with this approach, with templates matching tr being used to output Row elements, and templates matching td (or th) used to output Cell elements.
Try this XSLT for starters

This does assumes your tables are fairly well structured. It would become more complex if you had colspan and rowspan present.

Here is the code which I wrote. Based on variable we can get the data either in single sheet or in multiple sheets.

Want to copy child elements without having default namespace - html

If you just want to copy all the children of <content>...</content> change your <xsl:template match="o/content"> to: <xsl:template match="o/content"> <section class="content"> <xsl:copy-of select="node()"/> </section> </xsl:template>
