Subject: [xsl] Text markup for web forums, eg. [b]bold text[/b]
Hi all,
I am trying to use XSL to do the common mark-up found in web forums,
etc (I am making my own mini-forum integrated into my application).
XML (input):
<text>
<value>Text may contain [b]bold text[/b], [i]italics[/i] or both
[b][i]bold and italics[/i][/b].</value>
</text>
(X)HTML (desired output):
<div class="text">Text may contain <b>bold text</b>, <i>italics</i> or
both <b><i>bold and italics</i></b>.</div>
XSLT (incomplete):
<xsl:template match="text">
<div class="text">
<xsl:value-of select="value"/>
</div>
</xsl:template>
I am stumped on how to continue... maybe just give me some
ideas and I will continue from there...
Also, how should I handle incomplete or wrongly nested tags
(eg. <value>[b]blah blah [b][i]blah blah[/b][/i]</value>)
Most web forums normally just do not convert "bad" tags and
leave them for users to edit and fix them, so I guess I
should try to do the same.
Regards,
Daniel
