Re: [xsl] Squire bracket is getting duplicate.

[Syd Bauman <Syd_Bauman@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure if you are using XSLT 2 or are restricted to XSLT 1. The
following XSLT 1 seems to work with rudimentary tests. The idea is
simple: when you hit a text node that is both immediately before
(after) an element for which we plan to add brackets AND it ends in
(starts with) a square bracket, write out the text node without the
offending bracket.

  <xsl:template match="text()[following-sibling::node()[1][self::citationref]][substring(.,string-length(.),1)='[']">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring(.,1,string-length(.)-1)"/>
  </xsl:template>
  <xsl:template match="text()[preceding-sibling::node()[1][self::citationref]][substring(.,1,1)=']']">
    <xsl:value-of select="substring(.,2)"/>
  </xsl:template>

Others on this list may be able to provide you with better, or at
least prettier, versions of that. And certainly it's a lot nicer if
you're using XSLT 2. (Although you have to mind your escaping of
square bracket, a special character to the regular expression
language XSLT uses.)

BTW, I hope that you mean <para> and </para> OR <p> and </p> in all
cases ... this is not well-formed as it sits.
