Hi, all,
In the course of creating an HTML version of a stylesheet (I was doing
just PDF before), I split the content into several files (one for each
chapter). Consequently, I needed to prepend the chapter name to the anchor
value. With some functions, that was easy enough.
However, something bugs me. I used xsl:for-each to force the context to
the node pointed to by the cross-reference. It seems a little silly to use
a for-each statement to do that. I bet there are other (and perhaps
better) ways to set the context for this operation.
Basically, I am curious to see how you folks would solve the same problem,
so that I might learn something.
Here's the relevant code snippet:
<xsl:variable name="thisChapter">
<xsl:for-each select="key('refentries', .)">
chapter<xsl:value-of
select="substring-before(substring-after(saxon:path(), 'chapter['),
']')"/>.html#
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:variable>
As an aside, thanks to Michael Kay. I love Saxon.
