How often does one need to reverse a string?
It's easily done in XPath 2.0 as
string-join(
for $i in string-length($in) to 1 return substring($in, $i, 1),
"")
or using a recursive function if you find that more elegant.
this is a good point, i was just using that as an example. more
to the point, i guess i was curious about how much of the fairly
new "XSLT cookbook" from o'reilly would be unnecessary given the
new facilities in XSLT 2.0. thanks for the pointers.
