Jirka: Thank you for your very helpful response. I am copying to the mail list as well, I was trying to be considerate and not spam the list. I made couple minor changes to the code, so that I can get the declaration in the output files, and got it to work well enough.
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="2.0"> <!-- ******************************************************************** A style sheet to split out main doc into several smaller docs ********************************************************************--> <!-- ==================================================================== --> <xsl:output method="xml" doctype-public="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN" doctype-system="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"; indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"/> <xsl:template match="node()|@*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="article"> <xsl:variable name="filename"> <xsl:number count="article"/> </xsl:variable> <xi:include href="{$filename}.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/> <xsl:result-document href="Art-{$filename}.xml"> <xsl:next-match/> </xsl:result-document> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> However I am running into an issue when I use this following stylesheet to sections and have a nested section it errors saying it cannot write out to same URI. Here is the Style Sheet <xsl:template match="node()|@*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="section"> <xsl:variable name="filename"> <xsl:number count="section"/> </xsl:variable> <xi:include href="{$filename}.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/> <xsl:result-document href="Sect-{$filename}.xml"> <xsl:next-match/> </xsl:result-document> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Here is a sample of the XML data <section> <title> <emphasis role="bold">DATA <indexterm significance="normal"> <primary>DATA </primary> </indexterm> </emphasis> </title> <section> <title>SubData</title> <para>blah blah blah</para> </section> <section> <title>NEXT DATA<indexterm significance="normal"> <primary>NEXT DATA</primary> </indexterm> </title> <para>Next Set of Data Blah blah blah</para> <programlisting format="linespecific"> INTEGER value 10 INTEGER value 11 INTEGER value 12 </programlisting> </section> </section> How would you propose to modify the XSLT to handle the nested sections? I tried to change the xsl:number to an xsl:select where it could name the result files as section/titles but that was not successful. How would you handle that? Was I on the right track with the xsl:select? Thank you for your help! /G. -----Original Message----- From: Jirka Kosek <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Sent: Thu, Jul 22, 2010 9:54 am Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] chunking or splitting for non-html files [email protected] wrote: > Just to clarify this then is something that cant be done with XSLT 1.0? Yes, it can be done, but you have to use proprietary extensions like axon:output or exsl:document. That's why I have used standard XSLT 2.0. > Thank you once again for your help with this, like I said I am a newbie with SLT. It is greatly appreciated.
