Hi Edward Maybe something like
<xsl:for-each select="//dc:subject"> <tr> <td scope="col" class="width1"/> <th scope="col" class="width20">Subject: (</th> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(@xsi:type,'dcterms:')"/> <xsl:text>) :</xsl:text> <td scope="col" class="widthAuto"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> Cheers Neal Fitzgerald, State Library of Queensland -----Original Message----- From: Code for Libraries [mailto:CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU] On Behalf Of Edward M. Corrado Sent: Tuesday, August 02, 2011 7:54 AM To: CODE4LIB@LISTSERV.ND.EDU Subject: [CODE4LIB] xml stylesheet question Hi, I am trying to do something with an xsl stylesheet (1.0) that seems like it should be pretty simple, but I can't figure out how to do it or find any examples on the Web that work-. I have a set of Dublin Core XML records that have the subjects as either LCSH or TGM. The type of subject is identified by xsi:type. So for an individual record, the subjects may look something like this: <dc:subject xsi:type="dcterms:LCSH">Drum--Kurdistan</dc:subject> <dc:subject xsi:type="dcterms:TGM">Drums (Musical instruments)--Kurds</dc:subject> I want this to display something like: Subject (LCSH): Drum--Kurdistan Subject (TGM): Drums (Musical instruments)--Kurds The following works fine to print the subjects (as part of an HTML table) but (obviously) does not take into account the type of subject heading: <xsl:for-each select="//dc:subject"> <tr> <td scope="col" class="width1"/> <th scope="col" class="width20">Subject: </th> <td scope="col" class="widthAuto"><xsl:value-of select="." /> </td> </tr> </xsl:for-each> I need some sort of logic to test what the value of xsi:type is but I'm lost. I have been trying to find examples on how to do this on th Web and in a few XSLT books we have in the library with no luck. Any ideas?
