You can use the value of href attribute, to get the topic (you mean the xml file I think, and also you store xml as dita it seems) name. For more clarifcations, show your xsl codes. That may help much.

Hi,

I forgot to add more line to above.....

7] In html file href should be "filename"
   and display text is - <title> inside the actual .dita file.
8] My xsl is now processing either hrefs of topic or on actual dita file.
9] I cant manage to combine those both, using root element match. [they can be combine only in root element]
10] Though i combined both; the code goes to 1000's of line and that also not sufficient/satisfy the conditions.

sorry for not remembering these.

Mahesh

Its better you show the xsl code and the input for that xsl file. Also mention how do you process? whether its thro' any processesor directly or thro' any application? Show required output also.

Below is XSL File

othercode is removed only required code is mentioned here....

<xsl:template match="gsdev_bookmap">
    <div style="margin-left:10pt; margin-right: 10pt; text-indent: 0pt; break-before: page; ">
        <p style="font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #666666; line-height: 18px; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 3px">Some Text. Some Text. Some Text.</p>

                    <xsl:for-each select="//module[position() = 1]"><xsl:if test="topicref[@type='rcs_exercise'][1]"><xsl:value-of select=".//topicref[@type='rcs_exercise']/@href" /></xsl:if><xsl:if test="rcs_exercise[1]/title"><xsl:value-of select=".//rcs_exercise/title" />_</xsl:if></xsl:for-each>
                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[
                    ]]></xsl:text>
                    <xsl:for-each select="//module[position() = 1]"><xsl:if test="topicref[@type='rcs_exercise'][2]"><xsl:value-of select=".//topicref[@type='rcs_exercise'][2]/@href" /></xsl:if><xsl:if test="rcs_exercise[2]/title"><xsl:value-of select=".//rcs_exercise[2]/title" />_</xsl:if></xsl:for-each>

                    <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[
                    ]]></xsl:text>

                    and so on.............................

                    From above i manage to get only Title and Href [Appear as Title_Href (if I tried Href_Title then it should not be happen)]
                    Here I have to check near about 40 positions for each module position
                    Though I am not sure that there will be only 40 positions may occur or not?
                    Also not sure about module?

                </xsl:for-each>

    </div>
</xsl:template>


Required output

Looks like on html page

This is for testing purpose **** Title Of Course ****
Some Text. Some Text. Some Text.

Module 1. Some Title
 1. Procedure: Some Title - I need to get file name of this file; and it should be as <a href=".....">Procedure: Some Title</a> in HTML
     Check Your Knowledge

Module 2. Some Title
 1. Procedure: Some Title - I need to get file name of this file; and it should be as <a href=".....">Procedure: Some Title</a> in HTML
     Check Your Knowledge

Module 3. Some Title
 1. Procedure: Some Title - I need to get file name of this file; and it should be as <a href=".....">Procedure: Some Title</a> in HTML
 2. Exercise: Some Title - I need to get file name of this file; and it should be as <a href=".....">Exercise: Some Title</a> in HTML
     Check Your Knowledge

     And So on......

Your explanation is confusing. <xsl:value-of select=".//rcs_exercise[2]/title" /> in your code refers to element rcs_exercise which is not present in your sample xml. The usage of underscore in not correct as per your expectation.
Try this:
<xsl:template match="gsdev_bookmap">
        <div>
            <p></p>
            <xsl:for-each select=".">
                <xsl:for-each select="*">
                    <xsl:for-each select="topicref[@type='rcs_exercise']">
                        <a><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of select="@href"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of select="@navtitle"></xsl:value-of></a>
                    </xsl:for-each>
                </xsl:for-each>
                </xsl:for-each>
        </div>
    </xsl:template>

Post the exact input and its exact required output.

Thanks Rummy.

Your solution with some manipulations solve my problem.

and I move forward.

Thanks a lot.

But still i am curious

1] Is there any way while processing to get file name using javascript, in xslt 1.0,
   if there is no attribute in xml file element;
   cant explicit in xslt; etc.

>Is there any way while processing to get file name using javascript, in xslt 1.0,

There is no standard way to call javascript from XSLT 1.0, so the answer to this question depends entirely on the XSLT processor you are using.
