Subject: [xsl] String parsing, node creation From: Michael Clark <MClark@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 26 Feb 2002 14:01:22 -0700 |
Hello, and thanks in advance for reading my question! I'll jump right into the code, since it explains itself better than I can. <!-- My source XML --> <doc> <txt> This will be a fairly large block of text. Text block text block text block text block. It will go on for a while ... then stop. </txt> </doc> The problem I have now, is as follows: My <txt> nodes may only have #text nodes of a certain, very short length (say, 38 characters). So, after proper translation my xml document should look as follows: <doc> <txt>This will be a 256 char block of text.</txt> <txt> Text block text block text block text</txt> <txt> block. It will go on for a while ...</txt> <txt>then stop.</txt> </doc> The real hitch is the #text must be broken up by word blocks (words tokenized by space (' '), not purely by character length. I am using Xalan, so I thought I might do this rather tedious bit of parsing directly on the DOM tree in Java -- but I would really prefer to have all my conversion contained within my XSL. Sorry that I don't have an XSL base to start from, I have no idea where to start. There seem to be some very bright and XSL fluent minds on this list, I am constantly amazed at the complexity of the XSLT that goes on here on the list!
