Re: translate function

no the problem isn't resolved yet.

the white space are &nbsp;


I'm hope you are telling us that you have solved the problem, but just
in case: space (x20) and NBSP (xa0) are different characters and one
will not match the other.

    is there any restriction i the translate function,
    because i try to translate each escape in a sentence to '-'
    so i use this instruction:
    <xsl:value-of select="translate($caption_title,' ','-')"/>
    but it wasn't translated well.
    for example:
    for <xsl:value-of select="translate('Figure 1.
    Répartition des alimentations dans la baie SK (vue

avant)',' ','-')"/>

    i get:
    Figure-1.--Répartition des alimentations dans la baie

SK (vue avant)

    but i should get :

Figure-1.--Répartition-des-alimentations-dans-la-baie-SK-(vue-avant)


Beware, your "for example" wasn't an example of the instruction you
gave. If you put a literal string in an attribute value it will be
subject to white space normalisation by the XML parser, so

for example

you are correct that the newline after Figure 1. should be

converted

to a -.

However if that had been element content and you had defined
$caption_title as the content of that element, it would not

have been

normalised as an attribute value and so the newline would be a #10
character and not translated to a -.

You might want to check all your white space really are

sopaces, not

newlines or tabs. (or add newline and tab to your translate

function,

or apply normalize-space to get rid of them before translating)
