Is there a moderator on this list? I've had quite a few 'bounced', and I think I'm properly subscribed. Peeved, DaveP -----Original Message----- From: L-Soft list server at Library of Congress (1.8d) [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 09 January 2001 08:50 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Rejected posting to [log in to unmask] Your message is being returned to you unprocessed because it appears to have already been distributed to the EAD list. That is, a message with identical text (but possibly with different mail headers) has been posted to the list recently, either by you or by someone else. If you have a good reason to resend this message to the list (for instance because you have been notified of a hardware failure with loss of data), please alter the text of the message in some way and resend it to the list. Note that altering the "Subject:" line or adding blank lines at the top or bottom of the message is not sufficient; you should instead add a sentence or two at the top explaining why you are resending the message, so that the other subscribers understand why they are getting two copies of the same message. ------------------------ Rejected message (91 lines) -------------------------- Received: from pboroweb.rnib.org.uk (pboroweb.rnib.org.uk [194.128.16.123]) by sun8.loc.gov (8.8.8+Sun/8.8.8) with ESMTP id DAA29472 for <[log in to unmask]>; Tue, 9 Jan 2001 03:49:53 -0500 (EST) From: [log in to unmask] Received: by pboroweb.rnib.org.uk with Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) id <CK9BG4SN>; Tue, 9 Jan 2001 08:50:48 -0000 Message-ID: <[log in to unmask]> To: [log in to unmask], [log in to unmask] Subject: RE: EAD Cookbook Stylesheets- feedback Date: Tue, 9 Jan 2001 08:50:56 -0000 MIME-Version: 1.0 X-Mailer: Internet Mail Service (5.5.2650.21) Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" file 1 <xsl:call-template name="showbox-c02-box-only" select="."/> </xsl:when> the select is redundant, the current context is maintained when the call-template call is made. (xt is lax at error reporting) same with line 1302 <xsl:call-template name="hidebox-c02-box-only" select="."/> Also note that the <xsl:apply-templates select="."> the select is redundant. Again it is implied, i.e. process all child nodes of the current context. Otherwise cbs1 OK, produces an empty toc on the given file, is this what is expected? File cbs2, same issue. all select="." are redundant. file cbs3, <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:xt="http://www.jclark.com/xt" extension-element-prefixes="xt"> Requires 'version="1.0"' adding. The saxon equivalent to xt:document requires xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon" extension-element-prefixes="saxon" (to remove the saxon ns from output) and the function call is: <xsl:template match="preface"> <saxon:output file="{$dir}\preface.html"> <html><body bgcolor="#00eeee"><center> <xsl:apply-templates/> </center><hr/></body></html> </saxon:output> <a href="{$dir}\preface.html">Preface</a> </xsl:template> for example. in file 4 <xsl:for-each select="entry"> <td valign="top"><xsl:value-of select="."/></td> The <xsl:value-of .../> could be replaced more safely with <xsl:apply-templates/> The operation is that if the content of an element is text, it is added to the output stream, if it contains markup, then it is processed with the appropriate templates. See the xslt spec for details, its the default templates. Mmmm. Without pouring over the stylesheets and xml example for hours, I'm getting no output other than the empty frames! Is that expected?
