[PATCH] xi:include and fragments

[anonymous]

At the moment it is not possible to use <xi:include href="somefile.html" /> to only get a certain subtag of the file.

I suggest something like:

input.html

<bookstore>
    <books>
        <book class="scifi">
            <title>StarTrek</title>
            <title>Babylon 5</title>
            <title>The Blob</title>
        </book>
        <book class="technical">
            We don't have any technical books yet
        </book>
        <book class="scifi" restriction="adult">
            There are no books here yet
        </book>
    </books>
</bookstore>

• Using <xi:include /> NOTE: I don't know anything about the xi:include specs

  <document>
      <xi:include href="input.html" xpath="//books[@class='scifi'] />
  <document> 
  

• Using <py:xpath path="..." />

  <document>
      <py:xpath path="//books[@class='scifi']>
          <xi:include href="input.html" xpath="//books[@class='scifi'] />
      </py:xpath>
  </document>
  

• Note the difference to py:match is that just the part inside py:xpath is processed and only matching attributes are placed

multiple xpath matches could be defined like this: ` <py:xpath path="//book[@class='scifi'];//book[@class='']/@text" /> `

• Result

  <document>
      <book class="scifi">
          <title>StarTrek</title>
          <title>Babylon 5</title>
          <title>The Blob</title>
      </book>
      <book class="scifi">
          There are no books here yet
      </book>
  </document>

Please ask such questions on the MailingList.

[nicoe@…]

As it can be seen in the ​XInclude spec there is an attribute that do just that xpointer.

Unfortunately genshi does not support it yet (after a quick glance at the source).

[nicoe@…]

A patch for a naive support of xpointer

[nicoe@…]

A less naïve implementation (including xpointer xpath support)

[nicoe@…]

Is there anything preventing those patch to be included ?
