I'm working on a system where I have an XHTML based data storage, an I'm 
using XSLT to extract the relevant bits and pieces into the page 
framework. I'm keeping my individual pages paths following this pattern: 
/content/name_of_page/
I'd like to use XSLT to take the paths of img elements referring to 
image files and make them relative to the root of the site, where my 
actual site engine resides.
Thus <img src="an_image_file.jpeg" /> would become <img 
src="content/name_of_page/an_image_file.jpeg" />
I'm using PHP and Sablotron, and I can pass the path of the current 
page's path into the stylesheet.
This should be rather trivial, but the XSLT references I've ran into so 
far aren't very detailed on string manipulation.
An additional requirement would be to leave src attribute values 
pointing to other sites (starting with 'http://') alone. I guess I can 
do this with xsl:if and a substring match?
Could someone give me an example, or (even better) point me to a decent 
reference on XSLT string manipulation?
Thanks in advance!
