Question

HOw to make the text repeat only once every for-each?

Answer 1

+2 A:

Try this in your XSLT code:

<xsl:for-each select="quotes/quote/character">
    <!--Output name of the character in underline-->
    Name of character: <xsl:apply-templates select="name"/> 
</xsl:for-each>

A:

Here you go! I have tried to make as few changes to your XSLT as possible to achieve the desired output.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
  <xsl:output method="html"/>
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <pre>
          <xsl:for-each select="quotes/quote">
            <!--Output name of the character in underline-->
            Name of character: <xsl:apply-templates select="character/name"/> 
          </xsl:for-each>
        </pre>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

This has the following output :

<html>
  <body>
    <pre>
        Name of character: LA FEU
        Name of character: LA FEU
        Name of character: LA FEU
    </pre>
  </body>
</html>

UPDATE : this solutions is for avoiding doubles on an ordered set, i reread your question, and saw how i probably misinterpret. I leave my answer here, becaust it at least show you how to get rid of an unneeded for-each construction.

The question you do aks however is of a level under beginner i'm afraid. You should learn the basics first imo. Right now you're asking : "do my work for me please".

chekc here first if i may suggest : http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_xsl.asp

like this :

NOTE : (almost) never use for-each!!!! certainly not here!! see here If you insist on it however, you can use the same preceding-sibling logic if you want in a for-each close.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
<xsl:template match="/">
  <html>
    <body>
      <pre>    
        <xsl:apply-templates select="//quote[not(./character/name = preceding-sibling::quote/character/name)]/character/name" />    
      </pre>
    </body>
  </html> 
</xsl:template>

 <xsl:template match="name">
    <pre>
    <xsl:value-of select="."/>
    </pre>
  </xsl:template>

Hi there, I've just found out good way to deal with this problem: using apply templates, thank you you guys very much :).

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt;
  <!--Handle the document: set up HTML page-->
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html>
      <body>
        <pre>
       THIS IS ANOTHER TEST
          <!--Display number of quotes in the document-->
          There is <xsl:value-of select="count(/*/quote)"/> quotes in the document    
          <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </pre>
      </body>
    </html>
  </xsl:template>
  <!--Create the title for the play-->
  <xsl:template match="playtitle">
    Play title: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>
  <!--Create the title for the scene-->
  <xsl:template match="scenetitle">
    Scene title: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>
  <!--create the title for act-->
  <xsl:template match="acttitle">
   Act title: <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>
  <!--create the name for the character-->
  <xsl:template match="name">
     Character name: <span style="font-weight:bold;text-decoration:underline;"> 
     <xsl:value-of select="."/>   
    </span>
  </xsl:template>
  <!--create the text for the quote-->
  <xsl:template match="line">
         Quote text:
            <xsl:value-of select="."/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
