Re: [xsl] Re: text() word lists

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  So what is the best way to parameterise these to allow
  turning on/off the removal of numbers?  And while
  we're at it, turning on/off the removal of hyphens or
  other possibly-word-forming characters?

The  second argument to tokenize which is what is being used to specify
the "inter word space/punctuation"can include or not the numbers, or
hyphens etc, it is a general string valued Xpath so in particular you
can make up the regexp on the fly using concat() or string-join()
passing in some parameters as needed.

taokenize(.,concat('(',$space,'|[$punct,$nums,$other,'])+'))

then you can set
<xsl:param name="space" select="'\s'"/>
<xsl:param name="punct" select="'!.,;:\?'"/>
<xsl:param name="nums" select="''"/> <!-- or '0-9' -->
<xsl:param name="other" select="''"/> <!-- or 'whatever you want ' -->
