Hello!
I want to be able to convert an XML snippet like:
<CONV_TAG>
<TAG1 ATTR1="VAL1">Statement: 4 < 5</TAG1>
<CONV_TAG>
to this XML code:
<CONVERTED_TAG>
<TAG1 ATTR1="VAL1">Statement: 4 &lt; 5</TAG1>
</CONVERTED_TAG>
I have no problem with the "entifying" of the original markup - i use the XSL
templates below)
----------------------------
<xsl:template match="node()" mode="xml-to-text"><<xsl:value-of
select="name()"/><xsl:apply-templates select="@*"
mode="xml-to-text"/>><xsl:apply-templates select="node()"
mode="xml-to-text"/></<xsl:value-of select="name()"/>></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="@*" mode="xml-to-text"><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="name()"/>=<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA["]]></xsl:text><xsl:value-of
select="."/><xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA["]]>
</xsl:text></xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="text()" mode="xml-to-text"><xsl:value-of
select="."/></xsl:template>
---------------------------
The problem is i want to convert standard entities inside non-markup content.
< to <lt;
> to >gt;
& to &amp;
...and so on.
I therefore changed the third rule (in the above) which is the one that deals
with non-markup content,
to the following two templates:
--------------------------------------
<xsl:template match="text()" mode="xml-to-text">
<xsl:variable name="NodeText"><xsl:value-of
select="normalize-space(.)"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template name="Entify">
<xsl:with-param name="TheText" select="$NodeText">
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="Entify">
<xsl:variable name="TheText"><xsl:value-of select="'AAA'"/></xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="substring-before($TheText, '<')">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($TheText, '<'),
'<lt')"/>
<xsl<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($TheText, '<')"/>
</xsl:with-param>ame="TheText">
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="substring-before($TheText, '>')">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($TheText, '<'),
'>gt;')"/>
<xsl:call-template name="Entify">
<x<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($TheText, '>')"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="substring-before($TheText, '&')">
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before($TheText, '&'),
'&amp;')"/>
<xsl:call-template name="Entify">
<x<xsl:value-of select="substring-after($TheText, '&')"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$TheText"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
-----------------------------------------------------
The problem is that the macro template variable/parameter TheText always seems
to be undefined in
connection with the template macro call and therefore receive the value 'AAA'
inside the macro template.
Then all my non-markup content is converted to 'AAA' !
What is wrong with this approach - can anybody please help me!!
