Hi list,
I have this project that applies hyphenation to an XML document using a
list of words as a reference. The list of words can reach up to a
million entries.
My XSLT solution was having a template that matches text() nodes then
insert hyphens to the matching words that are in the list. However the
transformation takes to long to finish even for a relatively small file
(around 1mb). Is there anyway to speed this or is there a better solution?
Here's my stylesheet:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*|element()|comment()|processing-instruction()">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()">
<xsl:variable name="str" select="."/>
<xsl:variable name="searchStrs" as="xs:string*"
select="$search-words[matches($str,.)]/replace(.,'[.\\?*+{}()\[\]\^\$|]',
'\\$0')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="ati:replace-all($str,$searchStrs,$replaceStr)"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="ati:replace-all">
<xsl:param name="input" as="xs:string"/>
<xsl:param name="words-to-replace" as="xs:string*"/>
<xsl:sequence select="if (exists($words-to-replace)) then
ati:replace-all(replace($input, $words-to-replace[1],
key('replace',$words-to-replace[1],$search-words)),remove($words-to-replace,1))
else $input"/>
</xsl:function>
heres a sample of the look-up table:
<root>
<wordlist>
<entry>
<search>abaissassent</search>
<replace>abais­sassent</replace>
</entry>
<entry>
<search>abaisshrent</search>
<replace>abais­shrent</replace>
</entry>
<entry>
<search>abandonnent</search>
<replace>aban­donnent</replace>
</entry>
</wordlist>
</root>
so if i have a "abaissassent" in a text() node this will be replaced
with "aban­donnent".
