Subject: [xsl] string replace with ­ From: "Miller, James V (CRD)" <millerjv@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 2 Nov 2001 10:42:49 -0500 |
I have an XML file that I am converting to HTML. In the processing, I have a string of the form "machine.site.domain". These strings can be fairly long. When I output the HTML, I would to add a hint to the browser that it can hyphenate this string at any ".". So when I output the string I would like it to be machine­.site­.domain So that it can be rendered as machine- .site.domain or machine.site- .domain as needed. I've several versions of a recursive template to replace all occurences of "." with "­.". However, my output string always end up being machine&shy;.site&shy;.domain which renders as machine­.site­.domain I am using the xalan XSLT engine. I has a working version of this that only replaced the first "." with ­ that worked fine. But that was being done inline and not in a recursive template. <xsl:template name="SoftHyphenString"> <xsl:param name="src"/> <xsl:param name="dst"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length($src) = 0"> <xsl:value-of select="$dst"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:call-template name="SoftHyphenString"> <xsl:with-param name="src"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($src, '.')"/> </xsl:with-param> <xsl:with-param name="dst"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($src, '.')"> <xsl:value-of select="concat($dst, substring-before($src, '.'))"/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">&shy;.</xsl:text> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="concat($dst, $src)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> Jim Miller _____________________________________ Visualization & Computer Vision GE Corporate Research & Development Bldg.
