OXF Users:
Well, this is a first pass and I am certain there are other ways
to do this more efficiently with generated nodes, but for now,
I offer a simple way to let clients edit the static part of
various dynamic pages by transforming the xhtml into xsl.
The key is using <span> elements, at times where they are
not legally valid but where most wysiwyg editors will
not complain.
Given:
<table>
<span class="for-each" href="/root/customer">
<tr>
<td><span class="value-of" href="first-name"/></td>
<td><span class="value-of" href="last-name"/></td>
</tr>
</span>
</table>
[I used href, which is deprecated for xhtml, but seems so
appropriate. Unless you are validating the xhtml during
processing, I think there will be no problem]
Transformed against:
<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:xforms="http://www.w3.org/2002/01/xforms";
xmlns:d="http://orbeon.org/oxf/xml/document";>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:element name="xsl:stylesheet">
<xsl:attribute name="version">
<xsl:value-of select="'1.0'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:element name="xsl:template">
<xsl:attribute name="match">
<xsl:value-of select="'/'"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="local-name()='span'">
<xsl:element name="xsl:[EMAIL PROTECTED]">
<xsl:attribute name="select">
<xsl:value-of select="@href"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
The following pipeline will transform to xsl then again but
with the data
<p:config xmlns:p="http://www.orbeon.com/oxf/pipeline";>
<!-- Transform the xhtml into a stylesheet -->
<p:processor uri="oxf/processor/xslt">
<p:input name="config" href="./index.xsl"/>
<p:input name="data" href="./index.html"/>
<p:output name="data" id="xsl"/>
</p:processor>
<!-- Process xml data with stylesheet -->
<p:processor uri="oxf/processor/xslt">
<p:input name="config" href="#xsl"/>
<p:input name="data">
<root>
<customer>
<first-name>Joe</first-name>
<last-name>CEO</last-name>
</customer>
<customer>
<first-name>Jane</first-name>
<last-name>VP</last-name>
</customer>
</root>
</p:input>
<p:output name="data" id="xsl2"/>
</p:processor>
<!-- Deliver html -->
<p:processor uri="oxf/processor/html-serializer">
<p:input name="config">
<config/>
</p:input>
<p:input name="data" href="#xsl2"/>
</p:processor>
</p:config>
The result will be
<table>
<tr>
<td>Joe</td>
<td>CEO</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Jane</td>
<td>VP</td>
</tr>
</table>
Thanks for the help along the way.
