Subject: [xsl] insert tags out of context in XSL From: Peter Carlson <carlson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 03 May 2002 08:11:34 -0700 |
Hi, I am trying to break up a single block of text into multiple blocks at the linefeed marker. I found the l2br solution in the FAQ, but I don't want to put a <br />, I want to use </para><para>. Since these tags are out of context in the xsl, it won't work since it's not valid XML. I tried using the <para>, but they are considered tags in the next transform. Any suggestions or pointing to the correct FAQ would be helpful. Thanks --Peter My XML looks like <root> <para>xxx yyy zzz </para> I want to transform it to <root> <para>xxx</para> <para>yyy</para> <para>zzz</para> </root> The code I am using to convert at the linefeed is (from skew.org) See notes in ### below for where I want to put </para><para> <xsl:template name="lf2br"> <!-- import $StringToTransform --> <xsl:param name="StringToTransform"/> <xsl:choose> <!-- string contains linefeed --> <xsl:when test="contains($StringToTransform,'
')"> <!-- output substring that comes before the first linefeed --> <!-- note: use of substring-before() function means --> <!-- $StringToTransform will be treated as a string, --> <!-- even if it is a node-set or result tree fragment. --> <!-- So hopefully $StringToTransform is really a string! --> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($StringToTransform,'
')"/> <!-- by putting a 'br' element in the result tree instead --> <!-- of the linefeed character, a <br> will be output at --> <!-- that point in the HTML --> <!-- #######THIS IS WHERE I WANT TO PUT </para><para> ########--> <br/> <!-- repeat for the remainder of the original string --> <xsl:call-template name="lf2br"> <xsl:with-param name="StringToTransform"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($StringToTransform,'
')"/> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <!-- string does not contain newline, so just output it --> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$StringToTransform"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
