[xsl] Unicode and child element

["Pankaj Chaturvedi" <pankaj.chaturvedi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I have a markup which looks like below:

<booktitle>Rethinking Ethnicity: cross&hyphen;national Arguments and
Explorations 
	<edition>2nd edn</edition>
</booktitle>





XSLT
=======

<xsl:function name="my:reverse-string">
	<xsl:param name="arg"/>
		<xsl:sequence
select="replace(codepoints-to-string(string-to-codepoints($arg)),
'\[#x([0-9A-Za-z]+)\]', '&#xE000;#x$1;')"/>
</xsl:function>


<xsl:template match="edition" mode="New-one">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="name(parent::booktitle)">
		<!--  Do something  -->
	<xsl:value-of select="my:reverse-string(string(.))"/>
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
	<!--  Do something  -->
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>



<xsl:template match="booktitle" mode="New-one">
		<xsl:copy>
		<xsl:attribute name="dummy">book_title</xsl:attribute>
		<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
		<xsl:apply-templates mode="New-one"/>
		<xsl:text>. </xsl:text>
		</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>




If I use the above snippet in XSLT, I get the result

<booktitle dummy="booktitle">Rethinking Ethnicity: cross[#x002d]national
Arguments and Explorations 
	<edition>2nd edn</edition>
</booktitle>


Please notice: [#x002d] and I want it to be &#x002d; (I understand that it
is one a same thing but I need unicodes to be &___; format. That's the
reason of using above function).

If I change <xsl:apply-templates mode="New-one"/> in "booktitle" template to
<xsl:apply-templates/> then the unicodes appeared as desired but with
missing child <edition> element.

<booktitle dummy="booktitle">Rethinking Ethnicity: cross[#x002d]national
Arguments and Explorations 
	2nd edn
</booktitle>

Is there is a way to get the both (Unicode and child <edition>) correctly as
following:

<booktitle dummy="booktitle">Rethinking Ethnicity: cross&#x002d;national
Arguments and Explorations 
	<edition>2nd edn</edition>
</booktitle>

	
I've done it earlier but seems to be completely lost today (may be tired).

Any suggestion will be highly appreciated.


Best,

Pankaj Chaturvedi
