[xsl] RE:creating canonRef from flat

[Jim_Albright@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

Thank you to David, Jim, and Michael
Here is working code
I am looking forward to adding select on an attribute. That makes the code 
much nicer.
The lookup table is great! Really is elegant.
Thanks again for all your help on the list.

<xsl:template match="r">
  <xsl:element name="parallelPassage">
    <xsl:analyze-string select="." regex="[^;]+">
      <xsl:matching-substring>
        <xsl:element name="canonRef">
          <xsl:analyze-string select="." 
regex="([^\s]+)\s([0-9]+)\.([0-9]+)\-([0-9]+)">
            <xsl:matching-substring>
              <xsl:attribute name="book">
                <xsl:value-of select="my:abbrev(regex-group(1))"/>
              </xsl:attribute>
              <xsl:attribute name="chapter">
                <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(2)"/>
              </xsl:attribute>
              <xsl:attribute name="verse">
                <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(3)"/>
              </xsl:attribute>
              <xsl:if test="regex-group(4)">
                <xsl:attribute name="verseEnd">
                  <xsl:value-of select="regex-group(4)"/>
                </xsl:attribute>
              </xsl:if>
            </xsl:matching-substring>
          </xsl:analyze-string>
        </xsl:element>
      </xsl:matching-substring>
    </xsl:analyze-string>
  </xsl:element>
</xsl:template>


<xsl:function name="my:abbrev">
  <xsl:param name="long-name"/>
  <xsl:variable name="table">
    <book long="Mateus" short="MAT"/>
    <book long="Marcos" short="MRK"/>
    <book long="Lucas" short="LUK"/>
    <book long="João" short="JHN"/>
  </xsl:variable>
  <xsl:sequence select="$table/book[@long=$long-name]/@short"/>
</xsl:function>
