Re: [xsl] Netscape Navigator not displaying emdash

Does this do what you need?

Here's the xsl template for the generic search-and-replace functionality.

Below that is a URL-encoding template that uses a predefined list of
search and replace strings and uses the search-and-replace template.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
+++++++++++++++++  generic search and replace  +++++++++++++++++


<!-- sample how to use generic search-and-replace: -->
<xsl:variable name="string" select="'string to be
searched-and-replaced'"/>
<xsl:variable name="find"
select="'stringfragment-that-has-to-be-replaced'"/>
<xsl:variable name="replace"
select="'the-replacement-stringfragment'"/>
<xsl:call-template name="_replace_string">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string,$find)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="find" select="$find"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replace" select="$replace"/>
</xsl:call-template>



IN STYLESHEET:

<!-- template to look for all instances of string $find and
replace that with string $replace -->
<xsl:template name="_replace_string">
<xsl:param name="string" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="find" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="replace" select="''"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($string,$find)">
<xsl:value-of
select="concat(substring-before($string,$find),$replace)"/>
<xsl:call-template
name="_replace_string">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="substring-after($string,$find)"/>
<xsl:with-param name="find"
select="$find"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replace"
select="$replace"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$string"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>



++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
++++++++++++++++++++++++  URL-ENCODING  ++++++++++++++++++++++++

<!-- sample how to use url-encoding template: -->
<xsl:call-template name="_url_encode">
<xsl:with-param name="url" select="@url"/>
</xsl:call-template>


IN STYLESHEET:

<!-- select the find-replace strings that are defined in a
separate xml document -->
<xsl:variable name="url-enc_search"

select="document('_lookup.xml')/lookup/url-encoding/search"/>

<!-- URL encoding template -->

<xsl:template name="_url_encode">
<xsl:param name="url" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="search_element_nr" select="'1'"/>
<xsl:variable name="encoded_url">
<xsl:call-template name="_replace_string">
<xsl:with-param name="string"
select="$url" />
<xsl:with-param name="find"

select="$url-enc_search[$search_element_nr]/@find"/>
<xsl:with-param name="replace"

select="$url-enc_search[$search_element_nr]/@replace"/>
</xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$search_element_nr &lt;
count($url-enc_search)">
<xsl:call-template name="_url_encode">
<xsl:with-param name="url"
select="$encoded_url" />
<xsl:with-param
name="search_element_nr" select="$search_element_nr + 1" />
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$encoded_url"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>


=================================================

FILE _LOOKUP.XML FOR URL-ENCODING:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<lookup>
<url-encoding>
<search find="~" replace="%7E"/>
<search find="?" replace="%3F"/>
<search find="&amp;" replace="%26"/>
<search find="#" replace="%23"/>
<search find=":" replace="%3A"/>
<search find="=" replace="%3D"/>
<search find="@" replace="%40"/>
<search find=" " replace="%20"/>
<search find="," replace="%2C"/>
<search find="/" replace="%2F"/>
<search find="\" replace="%5C"/>
</url-encoding>
</lookup>
