Tip: Create Multiple Files in XSLT 2.0

Create an index

To finish, I need to add an index file that points to all the output test results. To do that, I use another xsl:result-document tag and hard-code the output to go to an index file (see Listing 6).

Listing 6. Code to build the index file



<!-- Creating the index -->

<xsl:result-document href="output3/index.html" 

  format="html">

 <html><head><title>Test Index</title></head>

  <body>

   <xsl:for-each select="//testrun">

   <a href="{@run}.html"><xsl:value-of select="@run" />

   </a><br/>

   </xsl:for-each>

  </body>

 </html>

</xsl:result-document>

This section goes right after the xsl:for-each loop that builds the HTML files for each test case. Listing 7 shows the index file for the example data set.

Listing 7. The index file



<html>

   <head>

      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type"

        content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

   

      <title>Test Index</title>

   </head>

   <body><a href="test1.html">test1</a><br>

<a href="test2.html">test2</a><br>

<a href="test3.html">test3</a><br></body>

</html>
