Subject: RE: [xsl] Truncating output of a node From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 19 Apr 2001 16:35:43 +0100 |
I guess another possibility it to output n characters and add '...' at the end to create the summary. Is that any easier?
<xsl:variable name="allowable-length" select="100"/> <!-- let's say 100 characters is a good number -->
<xsl:template match="summary"> <xsl:value-of select="substring(., 1, $allowable-length)"/> <xsl:if test="string-length(.) > $allowable-length"> <xsl:text>...</xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="summary"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="summary/text()"> <xsl:call-template name="string-segment"/> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="summary/span"> <b> <!-- I'm just making all spans <b>; do what you like --> <xsl:call-template name="string-segment"/> </b> </xsl:template>
Hope this helps! Wendell
