Re: [Docutils-users] XSLT

[Schimon J. <sc...@fe...>]

Greetings.

I am answering to myself.

This code works, and the results are good, despite the lack of the
desired element </xsl:text>.

--- BEGIN PYTHON CODE ---

from docutils.core import publish_parts
import lxml.etree as ET

class UtilityRst:

    def convert_to_html(rst_content_str):
        html_content_str = publish_parts(source=rst_content_str,
                                         writer_name="html")
        return html_content_str["fragment"]

class ParserXml:

    def append_xhtml_to_xslt(filepath_xslt, filepath_rst):
        document_xslt = ET.parse(filepath_xslt)

        rst_content_str = open(filepath_rst, mode="r").read()
        xhtml_content_str = UtilityRst.convert_to_html(rst_content_str)
        lines = rst_content_str.split("\n")
        for line in lines:
            if line.startswith(".. xpath"):
                expression_xpath = line.split(": ")[1]
                break

        element_xml = document_xslt.xpath(expression_xpath)
        if element_xml:
            subelement = ET.fromstring(xhtml_content_str)
            element_xml[0].append(subelement)
        document_xslt.write(filepath_xslt, pretty_print=True)

--- END PYTHON CODE ---

This code will be featured in project Rivista (Vivista).
