Subject: RE: [xsl] String manipulations with quotes From: Betty Harvey <harvey@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 10 Apr 2003 18:21:42 -0400 (EDT) |
I don't have control over the authoring. The quotes are already embedded in the file. I can't change all the " to the character entity because it would change them all. I could bring the file into XMetal and convert the quotes with a global find and replace. However, the file is 8 megabytes long. I could probably do this and start the search and replace this evening and maybe it will be finished in the morning |-). It just seems like this should be doable in XSLT.
