RE: escaping quotes with \"

[Brian Young <Brian.Young@xxxxxxx>]

Hello,

Here's the version I wrote this very day:

<xsl:template name="translateDoubleQuotes">
	<xsl:param name="string" select="''" />

	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="contains($string, '&quot;')">
			<xsl:text /><xsl:value-of select="substring-before($string, '&quot;')" />\"<xsl:call-template name="translateDoubleQuotes"><xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring-after($string, '&quot;')" /></xsl:call-template><xsl:text />
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<xsl:text /><xsl:value-of select="$string" /><xsl:text />
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Very similar to what you have, but maybe it is different enough to help you out.

Thanks,
   Brian

Subject: escaping quotes with \"


I found this snippet of code on the faq but don't quite understand it.  So
if I want to escape all my quotes I just add this XSL to the bottom of my
page or do I need to associate every value of with it?

Please help out the newbie.. Thanks

<xsl:variable name="noQuote"><xsl:call-template name="cleanQuote">
<xsl:with-param name="string"><xsl:value-of select="$noLF"
/></xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:template name="cleanQuote">
<xsl:param name="string" />
<xsl:if test="contains($string, '&#x22;')">
<xsl:value-of
    select="substring-before($string, '&#x22;')" />\"<xsl:call-template
    name="cleanQuote">
                <xsl:with-param name="string"><xsl:value-of
select="substring-after($string, '&#x22;')" />
                </xsl:with-param>
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="not(contains($string, '&#x22;'))"><xsl:value-of
select="$string" />
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
