Dear Team,

Herewith i have pasted xml, xsl and html coding for your reference. In html blue color text(The blue text in xml element name is id and red color element name is school refid) i don't need and same the red color text. How to code this in xsl

Kindly refer the Below coding.

XML Coding
<catalog natcat="descriptive">
<id>1</id>
<catalog_name>Sanskrit</catalog_name>
<!--work start-->
<work>
<id>1</id>
<school refid="1"></school>
<work_name>Lucknow Skt. Parishad II</work_name>
<work_desc>Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi).</work_desc>
</work>
<work>
<id>2</id>
<author refid=""></author>
<domain refid=""></domain>
<school refid="2"></school>
<work_name>Osmania Uni.</work_name>
<work_desc>Osmania Uni. p. 49.</work_desc>
</work>
<work>
<id>3</id>
<school refid="3"></school>
<work_name>SB.</work_name>
<work_desc>SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).</work_desc>
</work>
<!--work end-->
</catalog>

XSL-Coding
<xsl:template match="/ncc/catalog">
<P><xsl:apply-templates></xsl:apply-templates></P>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="*/catalog_name">
<span style="color:red; font-family:'SD-TTSurekh','SD-TTSurekh',sans-serif;" ><xsl:value-of select="."/></span>
</xsl:template>

HTML Output
1 Sanskrit 1 Lucknow Skt. Parishad II Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi). 2 Osmania Uni. Osmania Uni. p. 49. 3 SB. SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).

Their are some default template built into XSLT, which will always output text inside elements unless you tell it not to.

To do this you can either change your apply-templates so that it selects only those elements you want to output, or write a template to match the elements you don't want to output telling it to do nothing.

Also, you have incorrectly highlighted the two numbers that are output. The first on is the value of the catalog/id element, then second is the value of the work/id element. By default attribute values are not output.

Think before you post: What have you tried?

How to avoid additional text. Kindly suggest the below html output.

Actual Output
1 Sanskrit 1 Lucknow Skt. Parishad II Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi). 2 Osmania Uni. Osmania Uni. p. 49. 3 SB. SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).

We want output like:

Sanskrit Parishad II Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi). Osmania Uni. p. 49. 3 SB. SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).

Please study all below coding. i convert xml to html using xsl. our xml coding pasted below. The colored xml coding only we want the html output. kindly help.

<catalog natcat="descriptive">
<id>1</id>
<catalog_name>Sanskrit</catalog_name><!--work start-->
<work>
<id>1</id>
<school refid="1"></school>
<work_name>Lucknow Skt. Parishad II</work_name>
<work_desc>Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi).</work_desc>
</work>
<work>
<id>2</id>
<author refid=""></author>
<domain refid=""></domain>
<school refid="2"></school>
<work_name>Osmania Uni.</work_name>
<work_desc>Osmania Uni. p. 49.</work_desc>
</work>
<work>
<id>3</id>
<school refid="3"></school>
<work_name>SB.</work_name>
<work_desc>SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).</work_desc></work>
<!--work end-->
</catalog>


Current HTML output:
1 Sanskrit 1 Lucknow Skt. Parishad II Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi). 2 Osmania Uni. Osmania Uni. p. 49. 3 SB. SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).

Excepted HTML output
Sanskrit Lucknow Skt. Parishad II. ii. p. 48 (vidhi). Osmania Uni. p. 49. SB. New DC. I. iii. 52231 (in a collection).

As I said above, if you only want to output certain elements then you need to specify them in your xsl:apply-templates select attribute.

You will probably have to write templates to handle child elements of your parent <catalog> element individually.
