How to use ATTLIST?

chantey · Mar 13, 2004

Hi,

I have the following DTD and XML data. It uses ATTLIST to describe the attributes of 'name'. I want to display the attlist contents using an XSL file.

For example, using the XSL template, I need it to be displayed as:

Fred
25
15th Dec 1962
0123428374

Is this possible? A sample of the DTD and XML is shown below.

<!DOCTYPE address_book [
<!ELEMENT address_book ( name, tel_no, ) >
<!ELEMENT name ( #PCDATA } >
<!ELEMENT tel_no ( #PCDATA ) >
<!ATTLIST name
age (CDATA) #REQUIRED
birthday (CDATA) #REQUIRED >
]>

<address_book>
<name age="25" birthday="15th Dec 1962">Fred</name>
<tel_no>0123428374</tel_no>
</address_book>

Hi Chantey

Does this help?

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">[/URL]
 <xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
   <head/>
    <body>
	<xsl:for-each select="address_book">
	 <xsl:for-each select="name">
	  <xsl:for-each select="@age">
	   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
	  </xsl:for-each>
	 </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:for-each>
	<br/>
	<xsl:for-each select="address_book">
	 <xsl:for-each select="name">
	  <xsl:for-each select="@birthday">
	   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
	  </xsl:for-each>
	 </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:for-each>
	<br/>
	<xsl:for-each select="address_book">
	 <xsl:for-each select="name">
	  <xsl:apply-templates/>
	 </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:for-each>
	<br/>
	<xsl:for-each select="address_book">
	 <xsl:for-each select="tel_no">
	  <xsl:apply-templates/>
	 </xsl:for-each>
	</xsl:for-each>
    </body>
   </html>
 </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

You might want to shorten the xslt Mike posted a bit:

Code:

<xsl:template match="address_book">
  <xsl:value-of select="name"/>
  <br/>
  <xsl:value-of select="name/@age"/>
  <br/>
  <xsl:value-of select="name/@birthday"/>
  <br/>
  <xsl:value-of select="tel_no"/>
  <br/>
</xsl:template>
