Subject: how to use normalize-space From: Linda van den Brink <lvdbrink@xxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 9 Dec 1999 14:29:41 +0100 |
Hi all, I have a case where I want to process an element based on its content. The problem is that the element in my source often has whitespace so that it doesn't match the text I want to find. I guess I have to use normalize-space but I don't know the exact syntax. When I remove the extra space from my source manually the XSL fragment below works. Here's a fragment of my source: <p> <list> <listitem> Related topics</listitem> <listitem> <link type="manual" ref="whOM000021">lot control</link> </listitem> <listitem> <link type="manual" ref="whOM000022">variable lot features</link> </listitem> <listitem> <link type="manual" ref="whOM000023">lot tracking</link> </listitem> <listitem> <link type="manual" ref="whOM000024">Lots</link> </listitem> </list> </p> Here's the applicable fragment of my XSL. It should select a listitem if it's value is 'Related topics' (or a variation of that with extra whitespace) and create a ListTitle for that, and create ListItem tags for all listitems with another value. <xsl:template match="p[list]"> <List> <xsl:if test="normalize-space(list[listitem='Related topics'])"> <ListTitle><xsl:value-of select="list/listitem"/></ListTitle> </xsl:if> <xsl:for-each select="list/listitem"><!-- if it's value is not 'Related topics' --> <ListItem><xsl:apply-templates/></ListItem> </xsl:for-each> </List> </xsl:template> The output I want would be <List> <ListTitle>Related topics</ListTitle> <ListItem><Link role="manual" href="whOM000021">lot control</Link></ListItem> <ListItem><Link role="manual" href="whOM000022">variable lot features</Link></ListItem> <ListItem><Link role="manual" href="whOM000023">lot tracking</Link></ListItem> <ListItem><Link role="manual" href="whOM000024">Lots</Link></ListItem> </List> Thanks for any help!
