oops :-)

(and does have a couple of strange characters (octal 226, decimal 150) just after each page number, is that intended to be a dash of some sort?

It displays fine in my mail program as an en-dash. I don't intend to deal with tex-escaping and such; just utf-8.

something like

   <xsl:template match="xhtml:span" mode="output-latex">
     <xsl:variable name="c" select="tokenize(@class, ' +')">

         <xsl:if test="$c='italic'">\textit{</xsl:if>
         <xsl:if test="$c='bold'">\textbf{</xsl:if>

          <xsl:apply-templates/>

         <xsl:if test="$c='italic'">}</xsl:if>
         <xsl:if test=".='bold'">}</xsl:if>
 </xsl:template>

OK, thanks!  Had a feeling it was easier than I was thinking!

David, you have background in TeX. Do you have any thoughts about the best design approach to this intermediate (xhtml) representation to make output transformation to other targets easiest?

The basic options are:

1)  Keep as is:

        <span class="title bold italic">Riots and Pogroms</span>

2) Split presentation from semantics, and embed the former in the element; like:

<span class="title" style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">Riots and Pogroms</span>

The latter approach would require some rethinking of the code. Current templates look like:


  <xsl:template match="mods:titleInfo[not(@type='abbreviated')]" mode="full">
     <xsl:param name="prefix" />
     <xsl:param name="suffix" />
     <xsl:param name="font-style" />
     <xsl:param name="font-weight" />
     <xsl:value-of select="$prefix" />
     <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="../../bib:refclass='part-inSerial' and not(../../mods:name)" />
       <xsl:otherwise>
         <span class="title {$font-style} {$font-weight}">
           <xsl:apply-templates select="mods:title" />
           <xsl:apply-templates select="mods:subTitle" />
         </span>
         <xsl:value-of select="$suffix" />
       </xsl:otherwise>
     </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>

Perhaps a bib:style() function?

Incidentally, I'm realizing that XSLT 2.0's unparsed-text() functions and reg-exp support means that this could theoretically be extended to handle TeX input documents.
