    <p>I'm working on a piece of software that develops flight plans for aircraft operators. The aircraft has a sensor that can have various settings adjusted, and these settings are split by way of what we call "segments" of the flight plan. (A segment is some certain amount of time in the plan, and sensor settings only change when moving between segments.)</p> <p>The flight plan is output as an HTML file, which is generated from an XSL transform of a serialized XML object, via XslCompiledTransform in C# .NET. Its structure is very consistent, since there are a limited number of settings to adjust. For each segment, a pair of tables is output, delimited by <code>&lt;hr /&gt;</code> tags.</p> <p>What I'd like to be able to do is take that output and, each time a setting changes from segment to segment, bold that setting's text in the final output by wrapping it in <code>&lt;b&gt;</code> tags. A (paraphrased) example: (<strong>EDITED for clarification</strong>)</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;a&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;b&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;c&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;a&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;d&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;c&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;table&gt; </code></pre> <p>Given that output from the XSL transform, I'd like to wrap c in a or tag to bold it, resulting in something like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;a&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;b&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;c&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;hr /&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 1&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;a&lt;/td&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 2&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;b&gt;d&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;/table&gt; &lt;table&gt; &lt;tr&gt; &lt;td&gt;Setting 3&lt;/td&gt;&lt;td&gt;c&lt;/td&gt; &lt;/tr&gt; &lt;table&gt; </code></pre> <p>I'm not sure whether to write a helper object in .net, use a utility, run the output through a separate XSL transform, or what. <strong>What would be the best method to go about it given the tools I have at hand?</strong></p>

    1. COAre you asking for an XSLT transformation to convert the output of the first transformation to the new desired format? If so, could you provide a minimal but well-formed XML document that is the output of the first transformation and should be the input of the wanted transformation?

    2. COI edited my example for clarity (to show matched pairs of tables with the hr I mentioned). I don't want to upload the real HTML I'm putting together since it's a proprietary government project; I'm sure you understand. :)

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.
