I have an XML document that contains a bunch of HTML tags that I want to insert verbatim, i.e. all of the elements, attributes and text content.
Code:
section
text
status value="additional"
div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
div style="narrative"
various and sundry html tags
div
div
text
section
(ARGH, forums won't let me post the XML in the post. I've attached it instead.)
I want to grab the div with style = "narrative" and insert all of the html nodes as is into my HTML document. I can't see how to do that in StyleVision.
Thanks.

I have an XML hierarchy that I need to transform into a different representation but with the hierarchy reversed. Here is a simple example (with the xml brackets removed to get it into the form):
Code:
content
quantity value="12"
product
...product A info
product
content
quantity value="4"
product
...product B info
product
content
quantity value="1"
product
...product C info
product
content
content
content
This needs to be transformed into something like this:
Code:
product
...product C info
contains
quantity value="4"
product
...product B info
contains
quantity value="12"
product
...product A info
product
contains
product
contains
product
I've made a transform that almost does the above except that Product A/B/C stay in that order. I can't see how I could write the transform to start at the innermost info and work its way out. Does anyone have advice on how I could do that?

I am trying to simplify my mappings and one way I thought I could simplify is by creating a user-defined function to take a node as an input so that I can output a string based on the node's name and position. But I can't see a way to set the input of my user-defined function to be a node. node isn't one of the listed types in the dropdown for Simple inputs.

I had reached out to Altova support and they suggested using the position() function as well. I'll try to do that, but your suggestion of doing a two-pass generation might also work. Basically create the output with just the initial IDs and then do a 2nd pass to link up all of the IDs appropriately.

I have an output XML that I am mapping to that has the need for entry IDs that are generated. I also need to reference the generated ID in other areas of the XML.
Here is an example (not the actual XML I'm mapping to):
<entry>
<id value="auto-generate-1"/>
...
</entry>
<entry>
<id value="auto-generate-2"/>
...
<sourceUrl = "constant-text / auto-generate-1"/>
</entry>
<entry>
<id value="auto-generate-3"/>
...
<reference parentId="auto-generate-1" childId="auto-generate-2"/>
</entry>
The sourceUrl element shows that sometimes I need to take the generated string and concatenate some other strings to it.
I currently have this working using auto-number into X compute-when:once variables and then I use those variables where I need them. This works because I know for this specific mapping that I only have X ids to generate. But my next mapping has an arbitrary number of entries and therefore an arbitrary number of IDs to generate.
I tried to simply put the auto-number into the ID input and then connect the ID output to the reference/parentID input, but that just made a circular reference error.
Is there some other way to auto-generate some text into an output and then reuse that generated text in other places in the output?
Thanks in advance,
Jean
