Subject: [xsl] manipulating text and not losing elements From: Spencer Tickner <spencertickner@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2005 06:39:02 -0800 |
Hello everyone, and thanks in advance for the help. I have the following issue, I'm dealing with an xml document with character tags such as italic and bold splattered throughout the document. The problem is when I want to retain these tags but substring out some information as well. For instance. <xml version="1.0"> <document> <sender>someone@xxxxxxxxxxx</sender> <indent1>1245 This is some indented text with <italic>Italic</italic> and <bold>bold</bold> text</indent1> <paragraph>1246 Italic and bold tags are not limited they can <italic>appear</italic> anywhere within the document</paragraph> </document> Ok, now I usually deal with this with the old: (just a snippet) <xsl:template match="indent1> <p class="indent1"><xsl:apply-templates/></p> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="italic"> <em><xsl:apply-templates/></em> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="bold"> <strong><xsl:apply-templates/></strong> </xsl:template> But what happens in the scenario where I want to remove the numbers right after the indent1 and paragraph tags, as far as I can see the only way to accomplish this is with substring, but using a substring requires outputting using <xsl:value-of> which negates all following children. Ultimately I would like the line tagged as <indent1> to read the following: <p classs="indent1">This is some indented text with <em>Italic</em> and <strong>bold</strong> text</p> Ok, hopefully that illustrates my problem well. Thanks in advance for any help you guys can offer. Cheers, Spencer
