Subject: [xsl] Stripping white space From: "Grant Slade" <grant.slade@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 30 Mar 2007 08:31:02 -0600 |
<AU>Smith, J.P.<AU> <AU>Jahan, Aras^Jones, Jimmy C.</AU> <--- delimited by '^'
My problem is that I am breaking apart the individual authors using substring breaking apart by comman, so in the output I am getting:
<surname>Smith</surname> <given-names> J.P.</given-names> <--- has a space before the J
I tried using the normalize-space function which I understood would strip leading and trailing white space, but it isn't working.
Probably a better way to do this is using patterns, and I will probably change it but I wanted to know if there's a way to strip the whitespace. My xslt is as follows:
<xsl:template match="AU"> <contrib contrib-type="author"> <xsl:choose> <!-- Tests for Multiple Authors --> <xsl:when test="contains(., '^')"> <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(.,'\^')"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains(.,',')"> <name> <surname> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(normalize-space(.),',')"/> </surname> <given-names> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(normalize-space(.),',')"/> </given-names> </name> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> </xsl:for-each> <!-- <xsl:message terminate="yes"/> --> </xsl:when> <!-- Tests for singular author --> <xsl:when test="matches (.,',{1}')"> <name> <surname> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(normalize-space(.),',')"/> </surname> <given-names> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(normalize-space(.),',')"/> </given-names> </name> <!-- <xsl:message terminate="yes"></xsl:message> --> </xsl:when> <!-- Tests for empty AU field --> <xsl:when test="not(normalize-space(.))"> <xsl:message terminate="yes"></xsl:message> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:message terminate="yes"> <xsl:text>ABANDON SHIP! Arrrrrr ...</xsl:text> </xsl:message> --> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </contrib> </xsl:template>
