Subject: RE: [xsl] How do I capture the text "around" a node? From: "Michael Kay" <michael.h.kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 24 Sep 2002 17:01:25 +0100 |
I'm not sure what result you want. If you want: "This book Lord of the rings is often misquoted." then you can just get it as the string-value of the <book> element. i.e., with <book> as the context node, it is string(.). If you want "This book is often misquoted." then it's best to use template rules - these are always a good idea when handling mixed content. <xsl:variable name="top-level-text"> <xsl:apply-templates select="text()"/> </xsl:variable> Michael Kay Software AG home: Michael.H.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxx work: Michael.Kay@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx > -----Original Message----- > From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of > Peter Lavender > Sent: 24 September 2002 14:27 > To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: [xsl] How do I capture the text "around" a node? > > > Hi Everyone, > > I'm beating my head against a wall here, and haven't been > able to work out how to capture the text around a node. > > Here is the snippet of xml: > > <book isbn="88888"> > This book <title>Lord of the rings</title> is often misquoted. > > ... > > </book> > > Now I have tried to work out how, but failed miserably and > would appreciate some help, or even better an explaination as > to why/how to do this. > > Here is my attempt to do it: > > <xsl:template match="book"> > > <fo:block font-size="12pt" font-family="serif" > line-height="16pt"> > > <xsl:variable name="txtFirst" select='substring-before( > /book/text(), "(" )' /> > <xsl:value-of select="$txtFirst" /> > <xsl:value-of select="title" /> > <xsl:text>After this is something:</xsl:text> > <xsl:value-of select="/child::title/child::text()" /> > > </fo:block> > > </xsl:template> > > When I do just variable name="txt" select="text()" i only get > all text up to the title tag.
