Subject: [xsl] On the fly search and replace using XSLT 2.0 From: Jacobus Reyneke <jacobusreyneke@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 15 Mar 2010 16:00:01 +0200 |
Good day, What is the best way to markup and replace a word on the fly using XSLT 2.0. I am considering using a markup e.g. _applicationname_label_, _applicationname_description_, _slogan_label_ in my documents, to enforce consistency in naming and descriptions of products etc. This is especially important since more than one author will be editing the documentation. The idea is to be able to change a word depending on the output type, audience, target market, etc. Example: The _applicationname_label_ described in this _outputmedium_label_ help students to focus on the content of their _studytask_label_. _studytask_description_ Sample Output 1: The *EditorX* described in this *manual* help students to focus on the content of their *dissertations*. *A dissertation is ....* Sample Output 2: The *Crazy-Editor* described in this *tutorial* help students to focus on the content of their *assignments*. *An assignment is....* My idea is to keep a separate <definitions/> group in which the labels and definitions of these terms will be kept: <definitions> <applicationname> <label> Touch Editor </label> <description> A simple editor for mobile devices </description> </applicationname> .... </definitions> The reason I'm not using <productname/> inline as the markup language is because other elements of type <productname/> already exist in some documents and I don't want to confuse actual elements with simple placeholders for names. Also, using xml cross references felt wrong for just replacing a word or description on the fly. Maybe it is right, but even so, I would appreciate advice. So far the help I have received from this forum has been fantastic. I am not lazy for asking such simple questions, but I have found that an expert's insight avoids a great deal of heart-ship in the long term. Thank you all for all the help and knowledge shared so far. Kind regards, Jacobus
