newbie question with XSL

[andrew_nuss]

Hi,

Assuming that I have a simple XML dtd, that defines a <section> tag as
follows:

a <section> consists of 1 or more (<code> OR <para> OR <list> OR
<table> elements)

How do I create a transformation for <section> and apply it such that
the transformations
of <code>, <para>, <list>, and <table> are applied as needed as each
element is
encountered in the <section>?

You probably mean section element, not tag.

<list> OR <table> elements)

it such that the transformations of <code>, <para>,
<list>, and <table> are applied as needed as each element
is encountered in the <section>?

What have you tried? This seems like a very basic task that
would be covered in pretty much any XSLT tutorial.
Precisely what is your problem with achieving the desired
results?

<xsl:template match="section">
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"
mode="section"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|node()" mode="section">
<xsl:message terminate="yes">
Invalid markup.
</xsl:message>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section/code" mode="section">
template for code element
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section/para" mode="section">
template for para element
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section/list" mode="section">
template for list element
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="section/para" mode="section">
template for para element
</xsl:template>

(Untested.)

This may be slightly off topic, but it may be the kind of thing someone
on this list has encountered.

I'm working on a Linux machine running Fedora Core 6 and Apache/2.2.3,
php 5. I developed web-based application on a machine running Fedor 4
and Apache/2.0.54

This application accesses xml files. But the Apache error logs tell me
that I do not have permission to access the xml files; and when I do an
index of the directory where the files are located, the xml files do
not show up in the browser--everything else does.

Am I missing an AddType? I've checked the Fedora 4 httpd.conf and can't
find an AddType for the xml files. I've also tested xml files and used
them on Fedora 4 also running Apache/2.0.54.

/etc/mime.types seems to have the same configuration on all machines.

I've been working with xml for several years on a variety of Linux
configurations and never have run into this before.


Thanks,

I presume you've already done the obvious check of file/directory
permissions at the filesystem level...

Yes, everything seems correct. The files are set at 644, the directory
is 755. I've even gone so far as to create a dedicated user and have set
both the directory and the files to the same user.

Thanks,

Myron

It turns out that Selinux is in effect, this is Fedora 6, and it adds
another layer of security and headaches. It comes installed on earlier
versions of Fedora but has not been, in my experience, on by default.

Thanks for your interest,
