I'm new at XSLT. I want to create a hyperlink using XSLT.
Should look like this:
Read our privacy policy.
"privacy policy" is the link and upon clicking this, should redirect to example "www.privacy.com"
Any ideas? :)
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:template match="/">
<html>
Read our <b>privacy policy.</b>
</html>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on any XML document (not used), produces the wanted result:
<html>Read our <b>privacy policy.</b></html>
and this is displayed by the browser as:
Read our privacy policy.
Now imagine that nothing is hardcoded in the XSLT stylesheet -- instead the data is in the source XML document:
<link url="www.privacy.com">
Read our <b>privacy policy.</b>
</link>
Then 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:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="link">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on the above XML document, produces the wanted, correct result:
<a href="www.privacy.com">
Read our <b>privacy policy.</b>
</a>
If you want to read hyperlink value from a XML file, this should work:
Assumption: href is an attribute on specific element of your XML.
<xsl:variable name="hyperlink"><xsl:value-of select="#href" /></xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="#href" />
If you want to have hyperlinks in XSLT, then you need to create HTML output using XSLT.
In HTML you can create a hyperlink like this
Read our privacy policy.
In this the whole text becomes a hyperlink pointing to www.yourwebsite.com

I need to do the following transformation in order to get a message pass through a integration broker which does not understand xsi:nil=“true”. I know that for strings having some thing like <abc></abc> is not same as <abc xsi:nil=“true”/> but I have no option.
My input XML:
<PART>
<LENGTH_UOM xsi:nil="1"/>
<WIDTH xsi:nil="1"/>
</PART>
Expected outcome:
<PART>
<LENGTH_UOM><LENGTH_UOM>
<WIDTH></WIDTH>
</PART>
Please let me know your suggestions.
To remove all xsi:nil attributes combine the identity template with an empty template matching xsi:nil.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xsi="http://xsi.com">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="node()|#*"> <!-- identity template -->
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="#xsi:nil" /> <!-- empty template -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
If you only want to remove those whose value is true use the following empty template instead.
<xsl:template match="#xsi:nil[.='1' or .='true']" />
Concerning the opening and closing tag topic I suggest reading this SO question in which Martin Honnen states that (in the comments of the answer):
I am afraid whether an empty element is marked up as or or is not something that matters with XML and is usually not something you can control with XSLT processors.
I have an incoming XML like below: I need to remove the <shoeboxImage> tag from the incoming below XML.
Incoming XML Input:
<attachReceipt>
<baseMessage>
<returnCode>200</returnCode>
</baseMessage>
<payload>
<returnCode>0</returnCode>
<shoeboxItem>
<shoeboxImageCount>2</shoeboxImageCount>
<shoeboxImages>
<shoeboxImage>
<name>receiptImage.jpg</name>
</shoeboxImage>
<shoeboxImage>
<name>receiptImage.jpg</name>
</shoeboxImage>
</shoeboxImages>
</shoeboxItem>
</payload>
</attachReceipt>
Expected Output:
<attachReceipt>
<baseMessage>
<returnCode>200</returnCode>
</baseMessage>
<payload>
<returnCode>0</returnCode>
<shoeboxItem>
<shoeboxImageCount>2</shoeboxImageCount>
<shoeboxImages>
<name>receiptImage.jpg</name>
<name>receiptImage.jpg</name>
</shoeboxImages>
</shoeboxItem>
</payload>
</attachReceipt>
Need some xslt code snippet to do this.
I don't have the necessary software installed to actually test this, but this should work:
<xsl:template match="shoeboxImage">
<xsl:apply-templates select="*|text()"/>
</xsl:template>
The idea is that when a shoeboxImage element is encountered, it generates nothing for the element itself, and just continues with its children.
You need to have an identity template and a template that will remove the element shoeboxImage but will retain its descendants.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<xsl:output indent="yes"/>
<!-- identity template -->
<xsl:template match="node()|#*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|#*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- template override for the element shoeboxImage -->
<xsl:template match="shoeboxImage">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I have a problem, when trying to read a structure having < > in source XML.
Input Structure -
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RecordsData>
<RecordsData>
<UID><RecordsData xmlns=""><RecordsData><UID>200</UID><RID>Test-1</RID><Date>20142812</Date><Status>N</Status></RecordsData></RecordsData></UID>
</RecordsData>
</RecordsData>
Expected Output Structure (there are two requirements) -
One is just conversion of < >into well formed XML tags.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<RecordsData>
<RecordsData>
<UID><RecordsData xmlns=""><RecordsData><UID>200</UID><RID>Test-1</RID><Date>20142812</Date><Status>N</Status></RecordsData></RecordsData></UID>
</RecordsData>
</RecordsData>
Second is extraction of whole data inside UID tag with output as only below -
<RecordsData xmlns=""><RecordsData><UID>200</UID><RID>Test-1</RID><Date>20142812</Date><Status>N</Status></RecordsData></RecordsData>
I am able to get second output if I have first one in hand. But struggling to get first output from Input over last few days after searching forum extensively and being very new to XSLT.
If we can directly get second output from input source - it's actually what is expected solution. For above - I just tried to break down problem into steps.
Any of experts can you please help!
Thanks,
Conversion is easy, extraction is not.
To convert the escaped markup to real markup, simply disable the escaping when writing the node to the result tree, for example:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>
<!-- identity transform -->
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="UID">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:value-of select="." disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Ideally, you would use the resulting XML file to extract any data from the escaped portion. Otherwise you would have to apply string functions for this purpose, since the escaped text is not XML.
However, in your example, you don't want to extract anything particular from the data, just isolate it and convert it to a stand-alone markup document. This can be easily accomplished by:
XSLT 1.0
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="RecordsData/RecordsData/UID" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
How can i copy an entire xml as is in an Variable?
Below is the sample xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<products author="Jesper">
<product id="p1">
<name>Delta</name>
<price>800</price>
<stock>4</stock>
</product>
</products>
I have tried below xslt but it is not working.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="#*|node()">
<xsl:variable name="reqMsg">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="#*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:copy-of select="$reqMsg"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Your transformation fails because at a certain point, it tries to create a variable (result tree fragment) containing an attribute node. This is not allowed.
It's not really clear what you mean by "copying an entire XML to a variable". But you probably want to simply use the select attribute on the root node:
<xsl:variable name="reqMsg" select="/"/>
This will actually create variable with a node-set containing the root node of the document. Using this variable with xsl:copy-of will output the whole document.
<xsl:copy-of select="document('path/to/file.xml')" />
Or if you need it more than once, to avoid repeating the doc name:
<xsl:variable name="filepath" select="'path/to/file.xml'" />
…
<xsl:copy-of select="document($filepath)" />
The result of document() should be cached IIRC, so don't worry about calling it repeatedly.
This question looks like a duplicate of XPath query for GPX files with namespaces?, but I must be missing something because I can't seem to get a fairly simple style sheet to work. I have this input:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<gpx xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.0" creator="Groundspeak Pocket Query" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0 http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0/gpx.xsd http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0 http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0/cache.xsd" xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0">

<desc>Craft maker box by FishDetective, Traditional Cache (2/2.5)</desc>
<url>http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=e86ce3f5-9e75-48a6-b47e-9415101fc658</url>
<groundspeak:cache id="2893138" available="True" archived="False" xmlns:groundspeak="http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0">

<groundspeak:difficulty>2</groundspeak:difficulty>
<groundspeak:terrain>2.5</groundspeak:terrain>
</groundspeak:cache>
</wpt>
</gpx>
And a stylesheet that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!-- -->
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:groundspeak="http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0"
>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
Cache names:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//wpt">
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="wpt">
<li><xsl:value-of select="groundspeak:cache/groundspeak:name"/></li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
And what I would expect is a list with one element on it, "Craft Maker Box", but what I get is an empty list.
What am I missing?
The default namespace is http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0. You should add that and use a prefix to match wpt.
Something like this: (untested)
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:groundspeak="http://www.groundspeak.com/cache/1/0"
xmlns:gpx="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
>
<xsl:output method="html"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
Cache names:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//gpx:wpt">
</xsl:apply-templates>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="gpx:wpt">
<li><xsl:value-of select="groundspeak:cache/groundspeak:name"/></li>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
It is indeed a namespace issue. You have
xmlns="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
in the XML so unprefixed element names are in this namespace. You need to bind the same uri to a prefix in your stylesheet, e.g.
xmlns:g="http://www.topografix.com/GPX/1/0"
and then use g:wpt in the match and select expressions.
