Greetings, all... new subscriber here...
I'm trying to use XSLT to create indexes from several XML files in a directory. The
approach I've taken can be derived from the following stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet
version="1.0"
xsl:version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="document('200101111200.xml')/article">
<xsl:template select="date"/>
<xsl:template select="title"/>
<xsl:template select="summary"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
...with one <xsl:template match="document()"> statement for each of the articles I
want to put in the index file. When I feed the stylesheet into Sablotron (I'm using v.
0.50 from the commandline on a hacked-up Red Hat 7 system), I tell it to use
200101111200.xml as a source document (but, imo, it shouldn't matter since no part of
the source tree is referenced directly; all templates refer to a child of a document()
function).
While the document() function appears to work when I use it in this context:
<xsl:copy-of select="document('200101111200.xml')/article"/>, it does not work as
listed above. Sablotron crashes and dumps core, with the following error message:
[sungod@potok news]$ sabcmd index.xsl 200101111200.xml index.xml
sabcmd: expr.cpp:1626: Bool Expression::patternOK (): Assertion `functor == EXFO_UNION
|| functor == EXF_LOCPATH' failed.
Aborted (core dumped)
Now, I'm a newbie to XSL, so while such a crash is a bug on Sablotron's part, I don't
know if maybe there is a better way to approach my goal. I've considered using XLink
to include several XPath-denoted tree fragments in my index file, but I don't know of
any processors that will recognize the XLink namespace and do the embedding
accordingly.
I'd appreciate any input to let me know what I'm doing wrong, what a better approach
would be, or whether the error is wholly Sablotron's (and I can provide core files if
anybody wants). Thanks much, in advance.
