Subject: Re: [xsl] Length of a literal string containing embedded tags From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 1 Aug 2007 13:31:48 +0100 |
> <text>this is some text<SUP>3</SUP>some more</text> > My assumption is that the embedded tags are being treated as proper nodes > rather than literal text. XSLT never sees any tags. In your case it sees 5 nodes element node, name text text node, value: this is some text element node, name SUP text node value 3 text node value some more Note XSLT will see identical input on <text >this is some text<SUP >3</SUP >some more</text > or <text>this is some text<SUP>3</SUP>some more</text> so ther eis no way of determining the length taken up by the original markup. You can calculate the length that would be taken up by some canonical linearisation as something like sum of length of all text nodes + 2 * sum of all element names + number of elements * 5 (for < > in start tag and </ > in end tag) David ________________________________________________________________________ The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England and Wales with company number 1249803.
