Template match not entered - xslt

I've the below code in XML.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<toa>
<title>TABLE OF HONG KONG LEGISLATION</title>
<subtitle>All references are to paragraph number</subtitle>
<toa-section>

though i have written a template match for pgs, while debugging, the flow is not entering the template. Please let me know where am i going wrong.
Thanks


change
<xsl:template match="primary-entry">
<tr class="primary-entry">
<td class="entry-name">
<xsl:value-of select="current()/entry-name/text()"/>
</td>
<xsl:if test="current()/pgs/node()">
<td class="pgs" >
<xsl:variable name="pgcount" select="count(current()/pgs)"/>
<xsl:for-each select="current()/pgs">
<xsl:apply-templates select="./pgs"></xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:for-each>
</td>
</xsl:if>
to
<xsl:template match="primary-entry">
<tr class="primary-entry">
<td class="entry-name">
<xsl:value-of select="current()/entry-name/text()"/>
</td>
<xsl:if test="current()/pgs/node()">
<xsl:apply-templates select="pgs"/>
</xsl:if>
and do the same for the secondary template.

Xpath - How to get all existing attributes name of siblings

The goal is simple. I'm trying to build a table with attributes in columns.
My problem : Some siblings don't have the same attributes as the first one.
When I build the table head I retrieve the attributes name of the first node and then hope that attributes of the following siblings will be the same in the same order. That is not the case.
I get only columns id, key, value, myattr1 and the myattr2 attribute is placed in the myattr1 column.
For building the table, I want to get columns : id, key, value, myattr1, myattr2
How can I retrieve the whole list of existing attributes for the node I am working on and loop over it?
I am still working the same js and form (see link at the bottom). It now requires bootstrap (css and js).
I slightly changed the xml. Here it is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Domain>
<Properties id="myid">
<Property id="DOM00000" key="mykey1" value="value1" myattr2="Mail"/>
<Property id="DOM00001" key="mykey2" value="value2" myattr1="EveryDay"/>
</Properties>
<Tokens>
<Token name="token1" comment="" ><![CDATA[mydata1---blah-blah-blah]]></Token>
<Token name="token2" comment="" ><![CDATA[mydata2---blah-blah-blah]]></Token>
</Tokens>
<Resources>
<Resource name="res1" type="W" current="0">
<Value><![CDATA[10]]></Value>

<Resource name="res2" type="W" current="0">

What you make use of here is a technique called Muenchian Grouping to get a list of distinct attributes, based on their name.
However, although the question just mentions about id, key, value, myattr1, myattr2, which are the Property attributes, it looks like you want to repeat it for the Token and Resource nodes too (i.e. you are trying to be generic). In this case, you define a key like so, which takes into account the main element name
<xsl:key name="attrs" match="/*/*/*/#*" use="concat(name(../..), '|', name())" />
Then, for a given element (such as Properties) you can get distinct attributes like so:
<xsl:variable name="attrs" select="*/#*[generate-id() = generate-id(key('attrs', concat(name(../..), '|', name()))[1])]" />
This can then be used to get the headers, and access the relevant attributes for each row.
Try this (abridged) XSLT:
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" />
<xsl:key name="attrs" match="/*/*/*/#*" use="concat(name(../..), '|', name())" />
<xsl:template match="/*">
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<xsl:call-template name="tabcontent" />
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="tabcontent">
<xsl:variable name="attrs" select="*/#*[generate-id() = generate-id(key('attrs', concat(name(../..), '|', name()))[1])]" />
<table class="table table-striped table-hover">
<thead>
<tr>
<xsl:for-each select="$attrs">
<th>
<xsl:value-of select="name()" />
</th>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<xsl:for-each select="*">
<tr>
<xsl:variable name="current" select="." />
<xsl:for-each select="$attrs">
<td>
<xsl:value-of select="$current/#*[name() = name(current())]" />
</td>
</xsl:for-each>
</tr>
</xsl:for-each>
</tbody>
</table>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

for loop and use the value

I've the below line in XML.
<tb class="3">
<tr>
<td>
<b>English words </b>
</td>
<td>
<b>Arabic </b>
</td>
<td al="r">
<b>Arabic</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>bear </td>
<td>ḍam</td>
<td al="r">new</td>

</tb>
Here is my xslt.
<xsl:template name="table" match="tb">
<table class="frame-all">
<xsl:call-template name="cols"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</table>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="cols">
<xsl:variable name="numbr" select="number(./#class)"/>
<xsl:variable name="colcnt" select="format-number(100 div $numbr,'##.#')"/>
<colgroup>
<!-- I want the condition here-->
</colgroup>
</xsl:template>
This gives me output of 33.3. And I want to create 3 cols(the class attribute value). And for each col the name should be increment value. as below.
<col name="1" width="33.3"/>
<col name="2" width="33.3"/>
<col name="3" width="33.3"/>
please let me know, how can i get the above result.
Thanks

If you are using XSLT 2.0, then one way to generate a specific number of elements, in your case col elements, is to use a variation of the xsl:for-each to do a specific number of iterations.
So, instead of doing <xsl:call-template name="colgroup"/> to call a recursive template, you could do this:
<colgroup>
<xsl:for-each select="1 to xs:integer($numbr)">
<col name="{.}" width="{$colcnt}"/>
</xsl:for-each>
</colgroup>
Note that you will need to define the xs namespace prefix in your stylesheet as follows
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" version="2.0">

please let me know how do i resolve this error and what are the steps to be followed so that in future i don't encounter this error.
Thanks

Your XSLT contains an infinite loop. Your para.group template contains this:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//counsel.group"/>
And then the template for counsel.group has this:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//ref.group"/>
The template for ref.group has this:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//judgment"/>
The template for judgment has this:
<xsl:for-each select="para">
...
<xsl:apply-templates select="child::node()[not(self::label)]"/>
...
</xsl:for-each>
Which cascades down to apply templates on a para.group and then you're back at the beginning. This process goes around in circles until the stack overflows. I think you need to rethink your XSLT to figure out how to prevent infinite recursion.

As you can see, there are other elements under sibling nodes, but I don't care about these and only want to see the first one.
I'm using this code to call a template with the string of desired elements as the parameter
and a template to loop through the asterisk-delimited string parameter: (title*url*notes*)

The only way I can access this template is to use the //*[name()=$first] syntax to extract the value of the element based on the name from the $first parameter.
Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much in advance. Not including the full XML as there are thousands of lines of unnecessary text.

Note: Inline data for headers, pseudo sequence parameter for filtering and sorting, modes not for processing the same element in different way but for processing different elements in the same way also.

I've found a solution, but I'm sure it's not the best way to do it. Within the templates for each of my expected fields, I have added:
<xsl:if test=position()=1">
.. process data here ..
</xsl:if>
Ideally, there would be a way to tell this to process only the first element it finds:
<th>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//*[name()=$first]">
<xsl:with-param name="header">true</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:apply-templates>
</th>
Edit: As I suspected, this will not work when there is more than one Catalog element to parse. So instead of grabbing the first element for each catalog parent element, it's grabbing the first element in the document every time

XSLT - Select only one set of data

Need some help: I want to only pull back the results for a specific ItemId, so if i wanted the only data for ItemId how could I adapt the template below?
I've tried for about 2 hours without any luck...
Here is a sample of my XML:

This Xslt only brings the item with ItemId value equal to 2075.
Notice I added [ItemInfo/PeriodAttendanceInfo/ItemId=2075].
