Repeating elements within repeating elements
Sorry if I am using the wrong terminology and correct me if it is wrong.
I am producing a PDF from an XML document using my own XSLFO style sheet.
The XML document can contain many NOTEs and each can contain many
CHARGEITEMs. The resultant PDF generated only contains the first CHARGEITEM.
This sample contains two NOTEs, the first has one CHARGEITEM the second has
two.
sample.xml <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n38157/sample.xml>
sample.xsl <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n38157/sample.xsl>
sample.pdf <http://apache-fop.1065347.n5.nabble.com/file/n38157/sample.pdf>
Three files attached are the XML, XSLFO and output PDF. Any help or advice
greatly appreciated.

Robert,
Not sure it is a better way, but you can use the document structure and the XPath preceding-sibling axis to get the same result. The attached is a modification of your first XSL.
Best regards,

It was trickier than I first thought. I don't deal with XSLT that often but got there in the end. I had to use an xsl:for-each as that allowed me to get the current position and do a conditional on it. You could almost move the contents of that template back to where it was before and just use the xsl:for-each, but it's up to you.
There may be a better way of doing it, but hope this points you in the right direction.

Robert Meyer

You're a star. I did define such a template before but it didn't display any
of the CHARGEITEMs so took it out. I see now that yours includes this line:
<xsl:apply-templates/>
And it seems as if it is this that makes it magically show all iterations.
Incidentally the fields QTY, DESC, PLTS and CLASS are repeating for each
CHARGEITEM and if I wanted to suppress the 2nd and successive occurrences
would it be trivial to do?

Hi,
I think you were missing a template match for each CHARGEITEM, and therefore it would only ever match the first one. I am not fully sure how you wanted it displayed, but I have attached a modified version of the XSL document with the output PDF as an example.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
Robert Meyer
