Subject: Re: [xsl] Analyze-string Regex to Match Content within Curly Braces From: "Michael Kay mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 13:57:25 -0000 |
A suggestion that I've thought about from time to time: If an attribute in XSLT expects an expression or an AVT, then a leading undoubled "}" in the attribute value indicates that is to be treated as a plain string. So for an expression <xsl:param name="x" select="}O'Reilly"/> indicates that the default value is the string "O'Reilly" and in an AVT regex="}[a-z]{4}" indicates that the regex is [a-z]{4} This relies on the fact that neither an AVT nor an expression can legally begin with an undoubled "}", nor is it ever likely to. And you can think of "}" as meaning "exit expression mode, here is plain text". Nice idea, or just too quirky? Michael Kay Saxonica
