Please help me to get rid of quotes!
In my XSLFO file I need a value from a processing instruction
for retrieval
by a marker.
The processing instruction contains several values within quotes like:
<?p="1" a="2" b="3"?>
Your document is not well-formed, so I hope that the above has a typo in
it. I will assume that it should have read something like
<?my-pi p="1" a="2" b="3"?>
I created variables to fetch the values but can't get rid of
the quotes.
What I need is just the numerical value without the quotes.
For example to fetch the value of p (I want the 1):
<xsl:variable name="info1" select="substring-after(.,'p=')"/>
<xsl:variable name="page.num" select="substring-before($info1,'"')"/>
However, in this second line I cannot use the " quote, so I tried:
<xsl:variable name="quote">"</<xsl:variable>
and then used:
<xsl:variable name="page.num"
select="substring-before($info1,'$quote')"/>
but I still do not get the single number 1.
Any better solutions?
This will work -
select='substring-after(.,'"')'
(Of course, it gets more than you want but it shows how to use your
quoteation mark)
Cheers,
Tom P
