Pages and Page Transformations

This is the XML file for the homepage of the Bonebreaker site:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
  <page>
    <title>Welcome to Bonebreaker Bikes!</title>
  </page>

It is called with the URL /bonebreaker/home/home.section and therefore transformed with the XSLT file section.xsl:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
	<xsl:stylesheet
    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
    version='1.0'
    xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"
    xmlns:site="http://www.bonebreakerbikes.com"/>

For parameter descriptions see The Sitemap.

<xsl:param name="toc-file"/>
<xsl:param name="section"/>
<xsl:param name="base-url"/>

<xsl:template match="page"/>

Apply the templates from the XML page.

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

Apply the templates from the TOC file to create the local menu for this section.

  <xsl:apply-templates select="document($toc-file)/*"/>
</xsl:template>

Page: Display the page title.

<xsl:template match="title">
  <h2><xsl:apply-templates/></h2>
</xsl:template>

TOC: Remove all other sections.

<xsl:template match="site:section[@name!=$section]">
</xsl:template>

TOC: Match the current section and create the list of items.

<xsl:template match="site:section[@name=$section]">
  <ul>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="site:page"/>
  </ul>
</xsl:template>

TOC: Create a list item for a page.

<xsl:template match="site:page">
  <li>
    <xsl:choose>

External link (do not include path information)

    <xsl:when test="@ext='true'">
      <a href="{@xlink:href}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
    </xsl:when>

Internal link (include path information)

    <xsl:otherwise>
      <a href="{$base-url}/{$section}/{@xlink:href}">
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
      </a>
    </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>
  </li>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

This is the XSLT file page.xsl that is used to transform a simple page. It does not yet contain any template matchers except for the page title.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">

<xsl:template match="page">
  <xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
						
<xsl:template match="title">
  <h2><xsl:apply-templates/></h2>
</xsl:template>
						
</xsl:stylesheet>

This is a sample XML file to describe a bicycle:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<bike>
  <name>Thighbreaker Comp</name>
  <purpose>Cross Country Competition</purpose>
  <frame>
    <travel>80</travel>
  </frame>
</bike>

This XSLT file (bike.xsl) is used to transform a bike file into HTML code:

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version='1.0'
  xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">
						
<xsl:template match="bike">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="child::*"/>
</xsl:template>
						
<xsl:template match="name">
  <h2><xsl:apply-templates/></h2>
</xsl:template>
						
<xsl:template match="purpose">
  <p><strong>Purpose:</strong>&amp;#160;<xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
						
<xsl:template match="frame">
  <p><strong>Frame:</strong></p>
  <ul>
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </ul>
</xsl:template>
						
<xsl:template match="travel">
  <li>Travel: <xsl:apply-templates/> mm</li>
</xsl:template>
						
</xsl:stylesheet>
