    <p>I'm fairly new to XSLT and XPath and have been banging my head against the wall for a while on this problem.</p> <p>I have the following XML:</p> <pre><code>&lt;reply&gt; &lt;multi-results&gt; &lt;multi-item&gt; &lt;name&gt;node1&lt;/name&gt; &lt;information&gt; &lt;block&gt; &lt;slot&gt;A&lt;/slot&gt; &lt;state&gt;Online&lt;/state&gt; &lt;colour&gt;purple&lt;/colour&gt; &lt;/block&gt; &lt;block&gt; &lt;slot&gt;B&lt;/slot&gt; &lt;state&gt;Online&lt;/state&gt; &lt;colour&gt;yellow&lt;/colour&gt; &lt;/block&gt; &lt;block&gt; &lt;slot&gt;C&lt;/slot&gt; &lt;state&gt;Online&lt;/state&gt; &lt;colour&gt;red&lt;/colour&gt; &lt;/block&gt; &lt;block&gt; &lt;slot&gt;D&lt;/slot&gt; &lt;state&gt;Online&lt;/state&gt; &lt;colour&gt;blue&lt;/colour&gt; &lt;/block&gt; &lt;/information&gt; &lt;/multi-item&gt; &lt;/multi-results&gt; &lt;address&gt; &lt;label&gt;this is an arbitrary bit of text included for this example&lt;/label&gt; &lt;/address&gt; &lt;/reply&gt; </code></pre> <p>There are a variable number of "block" entries per file.</p> <p>I want to "CSV" the data, and I'm using the following XSL:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"&gt; &lt;xsl:output method="text"/&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="*/text()[normalize-space()]"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="normalize-space()"/&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="*/text()[not(normalize-space())]" /&gt; &lt;xsl:template match="block"&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="slot"/&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;|&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="state"/&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;|&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="colour"/&gt; &lt;xsl:text&gt;&amp;#10;&lt;/xsl:text&gt; &lt;/xsl:template&gt; &lt;/xsl:stylesheet&gt; </code></pre> <p>Output:</p> <pre><code>node1A|Online|purple B|Online|yellow C|Online|red D|Online|blue this is an arbitrary bit of text included for this example </code></pre> <p>However, the output includes both the "name" and the "label"... </p> <p>I want only what I'm explicitly asking for in the XSL:</p> <pre><code>A|Online|purple B|Online|yellow C|Online|red D|Online|blue </code></pre> <p>I don't understand why. Can someone explain please?</p> <p>Also, there may be multiple "name" elements, each with its own number of "block" elements.</p> <p>Many thanks in advance</p>

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.
