RE: [xsl] Converting embedded URLs int hot links via XSL

[Ghulam Abbas <abbasg_99@xxxxxxxxx>]

Sorry about that. 
Here is what I"m doing

<xsl:template name="extract">
<xsl:param name="strEmbUrl"/>
<xsl:param name="delim1"/>
<xsl:param name="delim2"/>
		
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($strEmbUrl, $delim1)">
<xsl:variable name="strB4"
select="substring-before($strEmbUrl, $delim1)"/>
<xsl:variable name="strAfter"
select="substring-after($strEmbUrl, $delim1)"/>
<xsl:variable name="lastCh"
select="substring($strAfter,
string-length($strAfter))"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$lastCh = $delim2">	
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($strAfter, $delim2)">
<xsl:variable name="emURL"
select="substring-before($strAfter, $delim2)"/>
<!-- #1 Solution -->
<xsl:value-of select="$strB4"/>&lt;a
href="<xsl:value-of select="concat($delim1,$emURL)"/>"
target="_blank"&gt;<xsl:value-of
select="concat($delim1, $emURL)"/>&lt;/a&gt;>
<!-- #2 Solution -->
<xsl:value-of select="$strB4"/><xsl:variable
name="link" select="concat($delim1,$emURL)"/>
<a target="_blank" href="{$link}">
<xsl:value-of select="$link"/></a>
<!-- #3 Solution -->
<xsl:value-of select="$strB4"/><xsl:element
name="A"><xsl:attribute name="href"><xsl:value-of
select="concat($delim1,$emURL)"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:attribute
name="target"><xsl:value-of
select="'_blank'"/></xsl:attribute><xsl:value-of
select="concat($delim1, $emURL)"/></xsl:element>
<!-- end problematic code -->

<xsl:call-template name="extract">
<xsl:with-param name="delim1" select="$delim1"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delim2" select="$delim2"/>
<xsl:with-param name="strEmbUrl"><xsl:value-of
select="substring-after($strEmbUrl,
$emURL)"/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$strEmbUrl"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$strEmbUrl"/>
</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$strEmbUrl"/>
</xsl:otherwise></xsl:choose></xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="extractEmbeddedURLs">
<xsl:param name="str"/>
<xsl:call-template name="extract">
<xsl:with-param name="delim1" select="'http://'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delim2">'</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="strEmbUrl">
<xsl:call-template name="extract">
<xsl:with-param name="delim1" select="'http://'"/>
<xsl:with-param name="delim2">"</xsl:with-param>
<xsl:with-param name="strEmbUrl" select="$str"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>


Solution 1,2,3 are the problem area. I tried these 3
but first iteration works fine but when it goes into
the subsequent iteration string containing html is
lost somewhere. i.e. If I call extract only once then
it works fine and browser is able to render the html
but recursion seems to have some problem.
