Re: [xslt] Splitting a result into subtrees

[Nick Wellnhofer <wellnhofer aevum de>]

I don't know about the PHP API. But with the Perl API this would be 
really easy and doesn't even require XSLT. Assuming you have a parsed 
HTML document in $doc, the code would look something like:

my $part1 = $doc->findnodes('xpath_for_subtree_1')->get_node(1)->toString();
my $part2 = $doc->findnodes('xpath_for_subtree_2')->get_node(1)->toString();
...

The PHP API should provide similar functions.

HTH,
Nick
