Subject: Re: [xsl] translate function From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 30 Jun 2003 15:33:38 +0100 |
is there any restriction i the translate function, because i try to translate each escape in a sentence to '-' so i use this instruction: <xsl:value-of select="translate($caption_title,' ','-')"/> but it wasn't translated well. for example: for <xsl:value-of select="translate('Figure 1. Répartition des alimentations dans la baie SK (vue avant)',' ','-')"/> i get: Figure-1.--Répartition des alimentations dans la baie SK (vue avant) but i should get : Figure-1.--Répartition-des-alimentations-dans-la-baie-SK-(vue-avant) Beware, your "for example" wasn't an example of the instruction you gave. If you put a literal string in an attribute value it will be subject to white space normalisation by the XML parser, so for example you are correct that the newline after Figure 1. should be converted to a -. However if that had been element content and you had defined $caption_title as the content of that element, it would not have been normalised as an attribute value and so the newline would be a #10 character and not translated to a -. You might want to check all your white space really are sopaces, not newlines or tabs. (or add newline and tab to your translate function, or apply normalize-space to get rid of them before translating) David ________________________________________________________________________ This e-mail has been scanned for all viruses by Star Internet.
