XSLT:

<destinationAgent QMgr="BSCMFT01" agent="'<xsl:value-of select="/ProcessData/OUTPUT/DestinationAgent/text()"/>'"/>
Desired Output:

Error:
The value of attribute "agent" associated with an element type "sourceAgent" must not contain the '<' character.
Summary:
Using XSLT 1.0
I've tried escaping the ">" and "<" using "< ;" and "> ;"
Use either the xsl:attribute instruction:
<sourceAgent QMgr="BSCMFT01">
<xsl:attribute name="agent">
<xsl:value-of select="/ProcessData/OUTPUT/SourceAgent"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</sourceAgent>
or attribute value template:
<sourceAgent QMgr="BSCMFT01" agent="{/ProcessData/OUTPUT/SourceAgent}"/>

I am unable to get the value of 'xml:lang' attribute. Even thought I tried with the below xpath
<xsl:variable name="rootPath" select="/xoe:documents/xocs:doc/xocs:serial-item"/>
<xsl:variable name="lang" select="$rootPath/ja:article[#xml:lang]"/>
or
<xsl:variable name="lang" select="$rootPath/ja:article/#xml:lang"/>
here ja is already defined in my xslt code
xmlns:ja="http://www.xyzq1.org/xml/ja/dtd"
Can some one please help?
First, you need to declare these:
xmlns:xoe="http://xxxxxx"
xmlns:xocs="xxxxxx"
xmlns:ya="www.yahoo.mkt"
Then you can get the value of the xml:lang attribute using:
<xsl:value-of select="/xoe:documents/xocs:doc/xocs:serial-item/ya:article/#xml:lang"/>
Note that the URIs in your stylesheet namespace declarations must be the same URIs that appear in your source XML. The prefixes can be anything you like.
We have a requirement that requires us to list out all the empty values from the incoming xml. I have searched but all I could find was listing non-null values, trying to use that for our xml is not returning the required results.
Here is the xml that we will receive and I want to be able to concatenate all the null values from this xml and print. Kindly assist.

When the XSLT is applied, we would like to receive the below string as output.
Status,Employer,CountryCode,PostalCode,Position,EmailAddrs,UserCode1,NationalityCode,NameLine2,NameLine3,ChDob,City,State,StatementNotifIndi,Nationality,County,MiddleName,LangPref
Thanks!
Use <xsl:value-of select="//*[not(*) and not(normalize-space())]/local-name()" separator=","/>. But I don't understand why your sample string starts with Status while the XML has a value <ns0:Status>0</ns0:Status> for that field.
With XSLT 1.0 you need a bit of more code:
<xsl:for-each select="//*[not(*) and not(normalize-space())]">
<xsl:if test="position() > 1"><xsl:text>.</xsl:text></xsl:if>
<xsl:value-of select="local-name()"/>
</xsl:for-each>
I have a DITA bookmap where I am storing image paths:
<bookmap>
<bookmeta>
<data id="productLogo">
<image href="images/_notrans/frontcover/productLogo.svg" />
</data>
<data id="productPhoto" >
<image href="images/_notrans/frontcover/productPhoto.jpg" />
</data>
</bookmeta>
</bookmap>
Then I attempt to grab the href values by data[#id]:
<xsl:variable name="productLogo"><xsl:value-of select="//data[#id='productLogo']/image/#href" /></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="productPhoto"><xsl:value-of select="//data[#id='productPhoto']/image/#href" /></xsl:variable>
(These XPath expressions match the href when I test against my bookmap in Oxygen.)
During transformation I output:
<xsl:message>productPhoto: <xsl:value-of select="$productPhoto"/></xsl:message>
The value-of is always empty.
However, everything works as expected if I replace the id attribute with numbers:
<xsl:variable name="productLogo"><xsl:value-of select="//data[1]/image/#href" /></xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="productPhoto"><xsl:value-of select="//data[2]/image/#href" /></xsl:variable>
What am I doing wrong that's preventing using #id="whatever"?
The XSLT is not applied directly over the Bookmap contents, it is applied over an XML document which contains the bookmap with all topic references expanded in it and with some preprocessing applied to it.
If you set the "clean.temp" parameter to "no" you will find in the temporary files folder a file called something like "mapName_MERGED.xml", that is the XML document over which the XSLT is applied and as you will see in it, all IDs have been changed to be unique in the context of the entire XML document.
When usually working with data elements you should set the #name attribute to them like:
<data name="productLogo">
and match that name in the XSLT code.
There are examples of using "data" in the DITA 1.2 specs as well:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/dita/v1.2/os/spec/langref/data.html#data
Another option, depending on your needs, is to develop a naming convention for the product photos and use the element to build the URI. As the product logo shouldn't change for a product family, it wouldn't hurt to hard-code that in the XSLT code.
I want to create a Element in xml <a:ln w="12700"> using xslt 1.0.
and this is what i did in xslt
<xsl:variable name="width-value">12700</xsl:variable>
<xsl:element name="a:ln">
<xsl:attribute name="w">
<xsl:value-of select="$width-value"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:element>
its throwing error,
You cannot call an attribute 'w''

The only thing that I see is that you're missing the namespace declaration for a: If I have to make this snippet working, I must add something like this
<xsl:element name="a:ln" namespace="http://www.example.com/a/">
Perhaps you have the a namespace declaration elsewhere. I suspect the problem is due to some other part of your XSL, because this snippet looks OK to me.
I have an XML document that needs to pass text inside an element with an '&' in it.
This is called from .NET to a Web Service and comes over the wire with the correct encoding &
e.g.
T&O
I then need to use XSLT to create a transform but need to query SQL server through a SP without the encoding on the Ampersand e.g T&O would go to the DB.
(Note this all has to be done through XSLT, I do have the choice to use .NET encoding at this point)
Anyone have any idea how to do this from XSLT?
Note my XSLT knowledge isn’t the best to say the least!
Cheers
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&<!--&--></xsl:text>
More info at: http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_text.asp
If you have the choice to use .NET you can convert between an HTML-encoded and regular string using (this code requires a reference to System.Web):
string htmlEncodedText = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlEncode("T&O");
string text = System.Web.HttpUtility.HtmlDecode(htmlEncodedText);
Update
Since you need to do this in plain XSLT you can use xsl:value-of to decode the HTML encoding:
<xsl:variable name="test">
<xsl:value-of select="'T&O'"/>
</xsl:variable>
The variable string($test) will have the value T&O. You can pass this variable as an argument to your extension function then.
Supposing your XML looks like this:
<root>T&O</root>
you can use this XSLT snippet to get the text out of it:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="text" />
<xsl:template match="root"> <!-- Select the root element... -->
<xsl:value-of select="." /> <!-- ...and extract all text from it -->
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output (from Saxon 9, that is):
T&O
The point is the <xsl:output/> element. The defauklt would be to output XML, where the ampersand would still be encoded.
