    <p>In OOXML, formatting such as bold, italic, etc. can be (and often annoyingly is) split up between multiple elements, like so:</p> <pre><code>&lt;w:p&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t xml:space="preserve"&gt;This is a &lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t xml:space="preserve"&gt;bold &lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;w:i/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t&gt;with a bit of italic&lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t xml:space="preserve"&gt; &lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t&gt;paragr&lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t&gt;a&lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:b/&gt; &lt;/w:rPr&gt; &lt;w:t&gt;ph&lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;w:r&gt; &lt;w:t xml:space="preserve"&gt; with some non-bold in it too.&lt;/w:t&gt; &lt;/w:r&gt; &lt;/w:p&gt; </code></pre> <p>I need to combine these formatting elements to produce this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is a mostly bold &lt;i&gt;with a bit of italic&lt;/i&gt; paragraph&lt;/b&gt; with some non-bold in it too.&lt;/p&gt; </code></pre> <p>My initial approach was going to be to write out the start formatting tag when it is first encountered using:</p> <pre><code> &lt;xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; </code></pre> <p>And then after I process each <code>&lt;w:r&gt;</code>, check the next one to see if the formatting is still present. If it's not, add the end tag in the same way I add the start tag. I keep thinking there must be a better way to do this, and I'd be grateful for any suggestions. </p> <p>Should also mention that I am tied to XSLT 1.0.</p> <p>The reason for needing this, is that we need to compare an XML file before it is transformed into OOXML, and after it is transformed out of OOXML. The extra formatting tags make it appear as though changes were made when they were not.</p>

    1. COIt's not clear to me how (and why) you are going to use `xsl:text`. Is your target just convert the OOXML you have shown in the HTML?

    2. CO@empo - I was going to write out the start tag using '<xsl:text>' where the formatting begins, and write out the end tag in the same manner. In the above example, I would write out the start '<b>' tag before processing the string "This is a", and I'd write out the '</b>' after processing the string "ph".

    3. CO@Jacqueline - by trying to disable output escaping and write out markup instead of elements, you're fighting XSLT's modus operandi and asking for a big headache. Though I agree doing it "right" is not trivial.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
