Subject: Re: [xsl] Does XSLT contain an easy means of determining if a string contains a diacritic? From: "G. Ken Holman" <gkholman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 15 Nov 2009 23:42:31 -0600 |
I need to render Czech language strings containing diacritics into strings with the diacritics removed. The Czech alphabet has 16 lower case diacritics and a somewhat smaller set of upper case diacritics. The strings are expressed in UTF-8.
The encoding is irrelevant to XSLT ... it is relevant to the XML processor inside your XSLT processor in order to know what the Unicode characters are, but XSLT just sees them as Unicode characters without an encoding.
I do not need to retain case, but I must locate and replace all diacritics.
My only plan so far is construct a gigantic <xsl:choose> to find strings containing at least one diacritic. Then I would need a gigantic <xsl:if> to change each diacritic into its unaccented counterpart.
I wonder if there is a simpler method for turning, for example, a word like "Safarmk" [S, r, m] into Safarik? Any ideas or suggestions,
... which will return fully formed characters from characters using diacritics?
