Hi Ard,
I did, in fact, get it to work with some tweaking of the xsl. The
snippets follow.
What I would like to do now is strip the ".xml" file extension from the
resulting href in the html. Suggestions?
Joe
P.S. Here is what works.
>From this sitemap matcher...
<map:match pattern="articles/">
<map:generate type="xpathdirectory" src="articles">
<map:parameter name="xpath" value="/topic/title"/>
<map:parameter name="xmlFiles" value="\.x.*$"/>
</map:generate>
<map:transform src="mydir2html.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
...we get the title of each article for use as text in the resulting
html <a> element.
The following xsl...
<xsl:template match="/dir:directory">
<xsl:apply-templates select="dir:directory"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dir:directory">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dir:file">
<xsl:element name="a">
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="@name"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates select="dir:xpath"/>
</xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="dir:xpath">
<xsl:value-of select="title"/>
</xsl:template>
...uses the name attribute of each file in the XPathGenerator result as
the href of the <a> elements in the resulting html...
<html>
<head>
<title/>
</head>
<body>
<table id="body">
<tr>
<td id="articles">
<h4 class="menuheader">Articles</h4>
<a href="article1.xml">Article the first</a>
<a href="article2.xml">Article the second</a>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>
</html>
...which is all ready for tweaking and CSS-ifying and whatever you want
to do to it.
