Thanks for your response.<br>
<br>
I thought the XSL looked cumbersome, but since I am at the level of
trial and error with xsl (read: comment out and see what affects the
output), I am relying heavily on what others have done. It may be
cumbersomely written, but it is effective for my purposes. Feel free to
offer suggestions for how to simplify...<br>
<br>
For the issue at hand, I didn't specify this, but I was aware that <br>
</font>
<pre wrap=""> <xsl:value-of select="***" />
</pre>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif">was the culprit. I left "***"
in there to remind myself and others that it was at that specific spot
that I was needing help (a trick used by an editor I used to work
with). My problem is I don't know how to form an XPath expression to
get what I want. I tried several ways (trial and error) to find the
right XPath expression but to no avail. This template is transforming
several styles at once (all the headers which make <div> elements
in OSIS), all beginning with text:h but with different outline levels
and styles in OpenOffice.</font><br>
<font face="Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif"><br>
I would be happy to read up more on XPath expressions, but I just don't
know where to look on this one. Any help in that regard would be
appreciated.<br>

<pre wrap="">Daniel,
This is a very cumbersomely written XSL - I don't know why it doesn't
use the <xsl:element> tags and such for the creation of new elements
in the output. However, your problem is specified below.

<pre wrap=""> I have several genbook projects which I want to be able to export from
OpenOffice Writer to OSIS. I downloaded the TEI package from
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.tei-c.org/wiki/index.php/TEI_OpenOffice_Package">http://www.tei-c.org/wiki/index.php/TEI_OpenOffice_Package</a> and started
playing around (I know next to nothing about XSLT except what I could glean
from <a class="moz-txt-link-abbreviated" href="http://www.w3schools.com">www.w3schools.com</a>).
With some modifications I was able to get a rather rough OSIS document, at
least with valid <div> and <p> elements nested properly. I created a
template for Writer that has custom text styles that correspond to OSIS div
types: bookGroup, book, chapter, section, subSection. I added x-unit
(between book and chapter) to correspond to a unit of chapters. I arranged
these in the template in the outline numbering according to the following
order:
1 bookGroup
2 x-unit
3 book
4 chapter
5 section
6 subSection
The XSLT arranges the parent-child relationships between <div> elements
based on the outline numbering order in Writer. The type attribute is easy
enough to add, but I am having trouble getting an osisID (The text that is
placed in the style "book," for example, which creates the division). With
the xslt as it is now, the chapter div looks like this:
<div type="chapter" osisID="***">
<title>Chapter 1</title>
</div>
I would like it to look like this:
<div type="chapter" osisID="Chapter 1">
<title>Chapter 1</title>
</div>
How do I retrieve that text to place it in osisID?
This is the relevant template (line 371 in the xsl file):
<xsl:template name="make-section">
<xsl:param name="current"/>
<xsl:param name="prev"/>
<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&lt;div</xsl:text>
<xsl:text> type=&quot;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="@text:style-name" />
<xsl:text>&quot;</xsl:text>
<xsl:text> osisID=&quot;</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="***" />
</pre>

This line above here is the culprit - as you see, it is told to output
the value-of the string literal ***. You need to replace this with
the XPath expression to the location that "Chapter 1" (for example) is
being pulled from. A few lines down that is being pulled in by a call
to <xsl:apply-templates> but here you can just substitute the XPath to
where the text is provided in the original XML document.

I attached the xsl file, OpenOffice Writer template, and the exported xml.
Sorry for such a basic question, but I'm so new to xslt that I don't even
know where to look for an answer.
