Question

How do I append an image below the first paragraph using XSLT?

Answer 1

A:

This stylesheet:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
    <xsl:template match="text()"/>
    <xsl:template match="title">
        <h1>
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
        </h1>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="node()[ancestor::body]|@*[ancestor::body]" name="identity">
        <xsl:copy>
            <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
        </xsl:copy>
    </xsl:template>
    <xsl:template match="body/p[1]">
        <xsl:call-template name="identity"/>
        <p>
            <img src="{../../image/@path}/{../../image/filename}" alt="" />
        </p>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

<h1>Design</h1>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam sit amet elit vitae arcu interdum ullamcorper. Nullam ultrices, nisi quis scelerisque convallis, augue neque tempor enim, et mattis justo nibh eu elit.</p>
<p>
    <img src="/uploads/design.jpg" alt="" />
</p>
<p>Quisque ultrices gravida pede. Mauris accumsan vulputate tellus. Phasellus condimentum bibendum dolor. Mauris sed ipsum. Phasellus in diam. Nam sapien ligula, consectetuer id, hendrerit in, cursus sed, leo. Nam tincidunt rhoncus urna. Aliquam id massa ut nibh bibendum imperdiet. Curabitur neque mauris, porta vel, lacinia quis, placerat ultrices, orci.</p>

Answer 2

A:

XSL:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
<xsl:template match="title"/>
<xsl:template match="filename"/>
<xsl:template match="body/p">
    <p>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </p>
    <xsl:if test="not(preceding-sibling::p)">
        <p>
            <img src="{../../image/@path}/{../../image/filename}" alt="" />
        </p>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Output:

<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit. Etiam sit amet elit vitae 
arcu interdum ullamcorper. Nullam ultrices, nisi quis scelerisque convallis, augue neque tempor enim, et mattis justo nibh eu elit.</p>
<p><img src="/uploads/design.jpg" alt="" /></p>
<p>Quisque ultrices gravida pede. Mauris accumsan vulputate tellus. Phasellus condimentum bibendum dolor. Mauris sed ipsum. Phasellus in diam. Nam sapien ligula, consectetuer id, hendrerit in, cursus sed, leo. Nam tincidunt rhoncus urna. Aliquam id massa ut nibh bibendum imperdiet. Curabitur neque mauris, porta vel, lacinia quis, placerat ultrices, orci.</p>

@joe: When you post some output in answer, it is assumed that you have tested. But your stylesheet fragment could not ever output that, because `apply-templates select="*"` doesn't apply to text nodes...

Alejandro 2010-08-30 16:02:14

@joe: remove `xsl:copy` or literal `p`, otherwise you end up with nested `p`. `<xsl:apply-templates/>` will work just fine if you don't overwrite built-in rule for text nodes. If you apply templates to attributes, you're goint to need some rule for those, otherwise built-in rule will output their values. A minor, your test could be just `not(preceding-sibling::p)`

Thanks for the help Alejandro. My answer is correct now. I like you approach better though because it is more robust and maintainable.
