Subject: Re: [xsl] Test character immediately preceding node From: David Sewell <dsewell@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Oct 2013 17:12:50 -0400 (EDT) |
<xsl:template match="unittitle"> <xsl:copy><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="unitdate"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="preceding-sibling::node()[1][matches(., '\s$')]"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="concat(' ', .)"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>
<unittitle>Statements 2001</unittitle> <unittitle>Statements 2001</unittitle>
<xsl:template match="unittitle"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:value-of select="string-join((normalize-space(text()), unitdate), ' ')"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template>
Is it possible to test a character immediately preceding a node? I have an element with child-elements, my trouble is that sometimes there is a space before the child-element, sometimes not. For example I might have:
<unittitle>Statements <unitdate>2001</unitdate></unittitle> or <unittitle>Statements<unitdate>2001</unitdate></unittitle>
The XSLT that I'm forking from has instructions to insert a space before <unitdate>, which sometimes results in two spaces in the output. I'd like to use an xsl:choose to test for a space immediately preceding <unitdate>. Is this possible? I'm using XSLT 2.0.
Thanks, Nathan
