Subject: [xsl] substring for whole words. From: James Cummings <James.Cummings@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 12:48:00 +0000 (GMT) |
I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, but how do I get substring-before() or substring() to not split something in the middle of a word. What I mean is, given an xml snippet of: <foo> <wibble>This is only a test but it is a really really long one</wibble> <wibble>This is a different test, right.</wibble> </foo> How do I produce: <ul> <li>This is only a test</li> <li>This is a different test</li> </ul> I.e. Take the first five words as delimited by the whitespace? Any Hints?
