Subject: Re: [xsl] A new XSLT function: node-set createTextNodes(object,object?) From: Miloslav Nic <nicmila@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 18 Dec 2000 09:52:12 +0100 |
I would love to have it. I cannot imagine my programming without regexps and I am missing them sorely form the XSLT spec but implementing regexps involves more work than the proposed function and so I hope that at least some possibility like this will be part of XSLT.
