Match an element with a dynamic attribute value

Question

I\'m trying to prototype a transform to turn xsl:schema into a php interface. I\'m having a little trouble matching xsd:simpleType elements that ha

Answer 1

The simpleType node is never selected because in the template where you match xsd:schema, you only apply the templates to the xsd:element child subtree. The xsd:simpleType sibling will never be processed.

If you want to allow the processing of all children of a node, you should include an empty inside the xsd:schema template.

That still won't generate the result you want. It's actually much simpler. To generate the code fragment you expect, you don't need to read the xsd:simpleType element, since the attribute that contains the type you want can be directly obtained from the @type attribute of xsd:element using xsd:value-of, and you can just print the $a immediately after it:

XmlString( $a)

Since you are generating text, you should use the elements to control how your whitespace will be distributed. For instance, if you use:

    <?php 
    

You won't need to worry about always placing the <?php text immediately after the and can indent your code normally. You can also include newlines with the character (and it won't break your formatting):

    interface FromXsd {

    

    
    
}

I edited your XSL and made these changes in the XSL document below:

    

    

    
        <?php 
        
    

    
        interface FromXsd {

        

        
        
}
    

    
        
            abstract public function build
        
        XmlString(
         $a
        );
    

    
            /* 
        
         */
    

If you have an input such as:

It will produce the result below:
