XSL transform template match-CodePudding

I have a following XML document with the content:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <div >
        <p > </p>
        <h1  id="sigil_toc_id_6">Other Sources Referred To</h1>
        <p > </p>
        <RefMaterial type="other">
            <RefTitle>Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of <searchHighlight xmlns="">Intellectual</searchHighlight> Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”). See Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization, Annex 1C</RefTitle>
        </RefMaterial>
    </div>
</body>

Now I am trying to convert this XML to HTML using the following XSL stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
    <!ENTITY nbsp "&#160;">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0">
    <xsl:param name="portlet"/>
    <xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" indent="no"/>
    <xsl:template match="*:body[descendant::*:RefMaterial]">
        <div >
            <div >
                <xsl:for-each select="descendant::node()">
                    <xsl:choose>
                        <xsl:when test="name()='RefMaterial' and not(string-length(@type)=0)">
                            <div >
                                <div >
                                    <xsl:value-of select="*:RefTitle except *:ref"/>
                                </div>
                            </div>
                        </xsl:when>
                    </xsl:choose>
                </xsl:for-each>
            </div>
        </div>
    </xsl:template>
    
    <xsl:template match="searchHighlight">
        <span  id="search-highlight-{format-number(count(preceding::searchHighlight) 1,'0000')}">
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </span>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

and this is the current HTML obtained:

<div >
    <div >
        <div >
            <div >Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”). See Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization, Annex 1C</div>
        </div>
    </div>
</div>

How should I alter the XSL to obtain the following HTML line. Basically to put the search-highlight class on to the word.

<div >Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of <span  id="search-highlight-0001">Intellectual</span> Property Rights (“TRIPS Agreement”). See Marrakesh Agreement Establishing the World Trade Organization, Annex 1C</div>

Many thanks for reading up this post!

CodePudding user response：

Instead of

<xsl:value-of select="*:RefTitle except *:ref"/>

which outputs the text including all subnodes, regardless of what these subnodes are, use

<xsl:apply-templates select="*:RefTitle except *:ref"/>

which applies to every node individually: text directly contained in RefTitle is output, but subnodes like searchHighlight are treated according to their own template, so that your <xsl:template match="searchHighlight"> comes into play.
