XSLT Transformation guide with Nested Elements in XML - Missing Output
I've hit a wall trying to I recently switched to I'm trying to perform an XSLT transformation on an XML document, but I'm working with issues with nested elements not appearing in the output. My XML structure is relatively straightforward, but I'm having trouble with elements that are nested within a repeating parent element. I'm using XSLT 1.0, and here’s the XML I'm working with: ```xml <library> <book> <title>Effective Java</title> <author>Joshua Bloch</author> </book> <book> <title>Clean Code</title> <author>Robert C. Martin</author> </book> </library> ``` My XSLT stylesheet is designed to extract the book titles, but for some reason, it only produces the output for the first book. Here’s the code I’ve written: ```xml <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <h2>Book Titles</h2> <ul> <xsl:for-each select="library/book"> <li><xsl:value-of select="title" /></li> </xsl:for-each> </ul> </body> </html> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ``` When I run this transformation, the output is generating an empty list. I expect to see the titles of both books listed, but it seems like the `for-each` loop is not iterating over the `book` elements as intended. I’ve double-checked my XML and XSLT for typos, and everything appears to be correctly formatted. I've also tried altering the XPath expression in the `for-each` to `library/book/title`, but that only outputs the title of the first book. I’m using Saxon 9.9 as my XSLT processor and I’m executing it with the command line. Can anyone guide to figure out why my transformation is not working as expected? What am I missing? Has anyone dealt with something similar? I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Xml. Could someone point me to the right documentation?
