If someone has an XSLT script of this general sort, I'd be very grateful if
they would post it here. A few more examples (in addition to those in the
showcase) would help me a lot.
To get things rolling, here's what I came up with to get rid of the cruft at
the Seattle Times site:
<transform pattern=".*">
<xsl>
<stylesheet><![CDATA[
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:import href="jpluck.xsl" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]|//img"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="//img">
<xsl:if test="contains(@src,'ABPub')">
<p>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</p>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="contains(@src,'localnews')">
<p>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</p>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="contains(@src,'Photograph_link')">
<p>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</p>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="font">
<xsl:if test="not(ancestor::font)">
<xsl:if test="@size=2">
<p>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
</p>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
]]></stylesheet>
</xsl>
</transform>
It turns out that the Seattle Times has the whole text of articles
(including the heading and such) within a <font size="2"... /> block.
That's matched here by "//[EMAIL PROTECTED]", and tested using test="@size=2".
The main trick is that you don't want to select any nested font tags.
That's avoided with the "not(ancestor::font)" test, which excludes any font
tags which are contained within other font tags.
The stuff with images matches any img tags, then includes only those which I
specifically want -- an icon (Photograph_link), the pretty top of page
picture (ABPub), and anything in the local section (localnews).
Here's another request for anyone experienced with XML -- Is there a
(preferably free, on Windows or Linux) utility out there which can tell you
the ancestors of a particular selection in an XSL file?
