My First XSLT

(Well, my first usage in anger, anyway.)

Faced with an XHTML version of the SPARQL spec, and a desire to get the latest EBNF grammar for processing, I actually used the most suitable tool for the job (probably badly, but that's not the point).

<?xml version = "1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version = "1.0"
  xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

  <xsl:output method="text"/>  
 
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:apply-templates
      select="html:html/html:body/html:div"/>
  </xsl:template>
    
  <xsl:template match="text()"/>  
  
  <xsl:template 
    match="html:div[@class='grammarTable']">
    <xsl:for-each 
    select="html:table/html:tbody/html:tr">
  	  <xsl:value-of 
    select="html:td/html:code[@class = 'gRuleHead']"/> 
    ::= <xsl:value-of 
    select="html:td/html:code[@class = 'gRuleBody']"/>
      <xsl:text>&#x0A;&#x0A;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

The 0 other people in the world who want an EBNF grammar for SPARQL, and don't already have a plain text version, can feel free to use that!

Time to go and get ready for dinner. Mmm. Eating out twice in one day — how indulgent!
