Tom,
I appreciate the "thinking outside the box" idea, but this case is
constrained to do the processing inside of the XSLT processor. I am also
only interested in performing transforming some of the text, as selected
in the course of the XSLT processing.
A script extension element or external object are options for doing
string processing along those lines. Are there any other approaches?
Thanks for your thoughts.
Cheers,
Stuart

Subject: RE: [xsl] Generating numeric character references
[Stuart Celarier]
I'd like to transform specific text subtrings into numeric
character references during in an XSLT transformation. For
example, I want to transform all occurrences that look like
"­" within a string into "­".
Sounds like preprocessing would be a good thing to do. Any kind of
string replace would do, wouldn't it?
Cheers,
Tom P
