Remove redundant tags inside <TABLE> tag from XML with XSLT -


i got below data in input.xml file, contains few of <i> tags outside of <td> tags creating problem in bi report generation. please xslt code tidy xml. suggestions welcome.

<table border="1" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">     <tbody>         <tr></tr>         <tr>             <td valign="top" width="402">                 <p>                     <b>column heading here </b>                 </p>             </td>             <td valign="top" width="234">                 <p>                     <b>another heading</b>                 </p>             </td>         </tr>         <tr>             <td valign="top" width="402">                 <p>                     <i>                         item discount                         <i></i>                     </i>                 </p>                 <i>                     <i></i>                 </i>             </td>             <i>                 <i>                     <td valign="top" width="234">                         <p align="center">                             <i>%</i>                         </p>                         <i>                             <i></i>                         </i>                     </td>                     <i>                         <i></i>                     </i>                 </i>             </i>         </tr>         <i>             <i>                 <i>                     <i>                         <tr>                             <td valign="top" width="402">                                 <p>                                     <i>                                         item discount                                         <i></i>                                     </i>                                 </p>                                 <i>                                     <i></i>                                 </i>                             </td>                             <i>                                 <i>                                     <td valign="top" width="234">                                         <i>                                             <p align="center">                                                 <i>%</i>                                             </p>                                         </i>                                         <i>                                             <i></i>                                         </i>                                     </td>                                     <i>                                         <i></i>                                     </i>                                 </i>                             </i>                         </tr>                         <i>                             <i>                                 <i>                                     <i></i>                                 </i>                             </i>                         </i>                     </i>                 </i>             </i>         </i>     </tbody> </table>

expected output :(** tags between ** should removed)

just create template matches <i> elements have <td> siblings:

<xsl:template match="i[preceding-sibling::td | following-sibling::td ]">         <xsl:apply-templates/>     </xsl:template>

since <xsl:apply-templates> default behavior copy textual nodes, if, in sample provided, <i> elements empty, not copy them output.

if want recursive can add children match:

<xsl:template match="i[preceding-sibling::td | following-sibling::td | ancestor::i[preceding-sibling::td | following-sibling::td] ]">         <xsl:apply-templates/>     </xsl:template>

update: if want remove <i> elements have <td> siblings , <i> children can use:

<xsl:template match="i[preceding-sibling::td | following-sibling::td | parent::i[preceding-sibling::td | following-sibling::td] ]">         <xsl:apply-templates/>     </xsl:template>

this basic xpath. if you're dealing kind of issue, recommend take 1 hour or 2 read xpath. it's worth it.

arrays - What causes a java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException and how do I prevent it? -

what arrayindexoutofboundsexception mean , how rid of it? here code sample triggers exception: string[] name = {"tom", "dick", "harry"}; for(int = 0; i<=name.length; i++) { system.out.print(name[i] +'\n'); } your first port of call should documentation explains reasonably clearly: thrown indicate array has been accessed illegal index. index either negative or greater or equal size of array. so example: int[] array = new int[5]; int boom = array[10]; // throws exception as how avoid it... um, don't that. careful array indexes. one problem people run thinking arrays 1-indexed, e.g. int[] array = new int[5]; // ... populate array here ... (int index = 1; index <= array.length; index++) { system.out.println(array[index]); } that miss out first element (index 0) , throw exception when index 5. valid indexes here 0-4 inclusive. correct, idiomatic for statement here be: for (int index = 0; index <...
