/ MARK.WROTH@xxxxxxxxxxx (Wroth, Mark) was heard to say: | I need to conditionally append a period to an element's content if there is | not already one there. For example, if the element is [...] | Can someone either give me a pointer to that solution, or suggest an | approach? The runinhead function in the DocBook stylesheets doesn't append the separator character if the last character in the string is a member of the relevant list of punctuation characters. It doesn't handle the space case, though. (define ($runinhead$) (let* ((title (data (current-node))) (titlelen (string-length title)) (lastchar (string-ref title (- titlelen 1))) (punct (if (member lastchar %content-title-end-punct%) "" %default-title-end-punct%))) (make sequence font-weight: 'bold (process-children) (literal punct " ")))) Cheers, norm -- Norman Walsh <ndw@xxxxxxxxxx> | The fundamental delusion of http://nwalsh.com/ | humanity is to suppose that I am | here and you are out | there.--Yasutani Roshi DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
