I have some XML with
elements, and I\'d like to wrap any consecutive runs with
elements. So, source XML would look so
This stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()[1]"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()[1]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ListItem">
<List>
<xsl:call-template name="ListItem"/>
</List>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()
[not(self::ListItem)][1]"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ListItem[preceding-sibling::node()[1]
/self::ListItem]"
name="ListItem">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()[1]"/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="following-sibling::node()[1]
/self::ListItem"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output:
<Section>
<Head>Heading</Head>
<Para>Blah</Para>
<List>
<ListItem>item 1</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 2</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 3</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 4</ListItem>
</List>
<Para>Something else</Para>
</Section>
Edit 3: Using strip-space
for what it is.
This transformation:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:key name="kFollowing" match="ListItem[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::ListItem]]"
use="generate-id(preceding-sibling::ListItem
[not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::ListItem])][1])"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|@*" name="identity">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ListItem
[not(preceding-sibling::*[1][self::ListItem])]">
<List>
<xsl:call-template name="identity"/>
<xsl:apply-templates mode="copy" select="key('kFollowing', generate-id())"/>
</List>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="ListItem[preceding-sibling::*[1][self::ListItem]]"/>
<xsl:template match="ListItem" mode="copy">
<xsl:call-template name="identity"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the provided XML document:
<Section>
<Head>Heading</Head>
<Para>Blah</Para>
<ListItem>item 1</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 2</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 3</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 4</ListItem>
<Para>Something else</Para>
</Section>
produces the wanted result:
<Section>
<Head>Heading</Head>
<Para>Blah</Para>
<List>
<ListItem>item 1</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 2</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 3</ListItem>
<ListItem>item 4</ListItem>
</List>
<Para>Something else</Para>
</Section>
