Question

I want to convert one xml format to another xml format by using xslt 2.0.Now i want to get the next immediate following::node() elements of the context node.for example,

This is my xml document:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
        <w:document xmlns:w="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/wordprocessingml/2006/main"
                    xmlns:v="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:vml">
        <w:body>
      <w:p>para1</w:p>   <!-- assume this as context node  -->
      <w:tbl>table data 1</w:tbl>
      <w:tbl>table data 2</w:tbl>
      <w:p>para2</w:p>
      <w:tbl>table data 3</w:tbl>
      <w:tbl>table data 4</w:tbl>
      <w:tbl>table data 5</w:tbl>
      <w:tbl>table data 6</w:tbl>
      <w:p>para3</w:p>
   </w:body>
  </w:document>

So,as per the context node mentioned in the above xml file, i want to select only table data 1 and table data2.

for example, if my context node is para2 then i want to select table data 3,table data 4,table data 5 and table data 6 only.

So, i have written xslt like this,

<xsl:for-each select="following::node()/self::w:tbl">
     <xsl:choose>
         <xsl:when test="self::w:tbl">
             <xsl:apply-templates select="self::w:tbl"></xsl:apply-templates>
          </xsl:when>                                             
     </xsl:choose>                                         
</xsl:for-each>

But it produced wrong result…

Please Guide me to get out of this issue…

Here’s a function that might be useful:

<xsl:function name="f:adjacently-following" as="element()*">
  <xsl:param name="start" as="element()"/>
  <xsl:param name="elementName" as="xs:QName"/>
  <xsl:variable name="next" select="$start/following-sibling::*[1]"/>
  <xsl:if test="node-name($next) = $elementName">
      <xsl:sequence select="$next, f:adjacently-following($next, $elementName)"/>
  </xsl:if>
</xsl:function>

Then you can call f:adjacently-following(., xs:QName('w:tbl'))
