Hi,
I'm sure I'm just missing something obvious, but how do I get
substring-before() or substring() to not split something in the
middle of a word. What I mean is, given an xml snippet of:
<foo>
<wibble>This is only a test but it is a really really long
one</wibble>
<wibble>This is a different test, right.</wibble>
</foo>
How do I produce:
<ul>
<li>This is only a test</li>
<li>This is a different test</li>
</ul>
I.e. Take the first five words as delimited by the whitespace?
Any Hints?
Write a recursive template that tokenizes the string, and outputs both the
tokens and delimiters, and stops after the fifth token is found. Dimitre's
<http://fxsl.sourceforge.net/> might worth looking at if you're fed up writing
the same recursive template for the gizillionth time.
