<map>
<source>bib-reference</source>
<source>@id</source>
<target>reference/citation</target>
<target>@id</target>
</map>
Required output:
<xsl:template match="bib-reference">
<xsl:element name="reference">
<xsl:element name="citation">
<xsl:attribute name="id">
<xsl:value-of select="@id"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:element>
<xsl:element>
</xsl:template>
My XSLT:
<xsl:template match="map">
<xsl:when test="count(child::*) > 3 and not(starts-with(source,'@'))">
<mac:template match="{source[1]}">
<xsl:variable name="nestedele"
select="tokenize(target[1],'/')"/>
<xsl:for-each select="$nestedele">
<xsl:variable name="tem" select="."/>
<mac:element name="{$tem}">
<xsl:for-each select="target">
<xsl:variable name="pos" select="position()"/>
<xsl:if test="not(position()=1) and exists(../source[2])">
<mac:attribute name="{substring-after(.,'@')}">
<mac:value-of select="{../source[$pos]}"/>
</mac:attribute>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:for-each>
<mac:apply-templates/>
</mac:element>
</xsl:for-each>
</mac:template>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:template>
This will create one element after the other but it won't create the
nested one. In a result for bib-reference, two elements will be
created with same content. Which is a wrong one. Please guide me how
to generate the nested element structure.
