Re: [docbook-apps] chunking or splitting for non-html files

Jirka:

Thank you for your very helpful response. I am copying to the mail list as well, I was trying to be considerate and not spam the list.

I made couple minor changes to the code, so that I can get the declaration in the output files, and got it to work well enough.

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">

<xsl:output method="xml" doctype-public="-//OASIS//DTD DocBook XML V4.1.2//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.1.2/docbookx.dtd"
indent="yes" omit-xml-declaration="no"/>

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="article">
<xsl:variable name="filename">
<xsl:number count="article"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xi:include href="{$filename}.xml"
xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
<xsl:result-document href="Art-{$filename}.xml">
<xsl:next-match/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>

However I am running into an issue when I use this following stylesheet to sections and have a nested section
it errors saying it cannot write out to same URI.

Here is the Style Sheet

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="section">
<xsl:variable name="filename">
<xsl:number count="section"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xi:include href="{$filename}.xml" xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"/>
<xsl:result-document href="Sect-{$filename}.xml">
<xsl:next-match/>
</xsl:result-document>
</xsl:template>

Here is a sample of the XML data

<section>
       <title>
         <emphasis role="bold">DATA <indexterm significance="normal">
               <primary>DATA </primary>
            </indexterm>
         </emphasis>
      </title>
      <section>
         <title>SubData</title>
         <para>blah blah blah</para>
       </section>
      <section>
         <title>NEXT DATA<indexterm significance="normal">
               <primary>NEXT DATA</primary>
            </indexterm>
         </title>
         <para>Next Set of Data Blah blah blah</para>
         <programlisting format="linespecific">
         INTEGER value 10
         INTEGER value 11
         INTEGER value 12
         </programlisting>
      </section>
</section>

How would you propose to modify the XSLT to handle the nested sections?

I tried to change the xsl:number to an xsl:select where it could name the result files as section/titles

but that was not successful.

How would you handle that? Was I on the right track with the xsl:select?

Thank you for your help!

Yes, it can be done, but you have to use proprietary extensions like
saxon:output or exsl:document. That's why I have used standard XSLT 2.0.
