Please suggest for how to split the xml nodes based on particular comment text (<!--Break-->). I tried thru using xsl:text disable-output-escaping format to place the required closing and opening tags (elements).
- My code is static, how to make that dynamic code which will work for any numbers of ancestor with respect to comment text, i.e., if ancestor count 'n', then from n to 1 how to make use of call-template method.
- some empty nodes are presented which are not ancestor to the content, how to avoid these
I referred some suggestions from our site, but find difficult to understand the logics. Please suggest. (XSLT 2 version)
XSLT:
<root> <a> <b>The text1 <c> <d>The text2</d><d>The text3</d><!--Break--><d>The text4</d> <e>The text5<!--Break--></e> </c> <f>The text6</f> </b> </a> </root> XSLT:
