Hi Bruce,
Is there some easy way -- in XSLT 2.0 -- to handle in a general way
collapsing number ranges like:
23-24 => 23-4
333-334 => 333-34
7777-7778 => 7777-78
The source will be like:
<biblioref linkend="one" units="page" begin="23" end="24" />
Taking a guess at the algorithm, what about:
<xsl:value-of select="@begin" />
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="string-length(@begin) = 1">
<xsl:value-of select="@end" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="string-length(@begin) = 2">
<xsl:value-of select="substring(@end, 2, 1)" />
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="substring(@end, last() - 1)" />
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
If that's not what you're after, show us the XML of some more examples
and try to put the algorithm that you want into English or
pseudo-code.
Cheers,
Jeni
