Subject: Re: [xsl] Continuing problem. &NotaWhitespace;? From: Jeni Tennison <jeni@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2001 18:42:21 +0000 |
Hi John, > This is more like what I thought of, but this has the problem of > that if the line contains several whitespaces in the beginning it > will get *one* whitespace added to the beginning. It should have > none in that case. OK. I don't think you mentioned that requirement before. You're now saying that if you have: <info><link>foo</link> bar baz</info> then you want it to give you: foo[1]bar baz whereas if you have one whitespace character at the beginning of the text node: <info><link>foo</link> bar baz</info> then you want a space added to give you: foo[1] bar baz Seems a bit strange, but OK. You need to test whether the second character in the text node is a whitespace character. You can use: normalize-space(substring, 2, 1) This will return false if the second character is whitespace because normalizing a string that contains only whitespace gives the empty string, which evaluates as false when it's converted to a boolean. So the test would be: <xsl:if test="not(normalize-space(substring(., 1, 1))) and normalize-space(substring(., 2, 1))"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:if> I hope that's what you were after, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
