AW: Quoting quote

2005-09-02 02:31:23
Hi,

this solution throws the exception:

rm.TransformerConfigurationException: javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: 
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The element type "xsl:when" must be terminated 
by the matching end-tag "".

because the ' opens a string that isn't closed. And later the "when" which 
contains the variable isn't closed ...

Regards,
Thomas

Hi,

i want to escape a single quote '

Text with such quotes is used in JavaScript Calls. How Can i do this?

Alternatively i could throw them away (because it's not much loss of 
information).

But the following doesn't work:

        <xsl:value-of select="translate($tHtml, '&#x27;', 'x')"/>

It produces

javax.xml.transform.TransformerConfigurationException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException:
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: misquoted literal... 
expected single quote!

What's the problem here?

The character reference gets resolved by the xml parser before the 
xslt processor gets to see it, so you have three single quotes '''
which throws the error.

The usual way round this is define a variable

<xsl:variable name="apos" select="'"/>

(that's a single quote between the double quotes in there)

then use translate($tHtml, '$apos;', 'x')


Sorry still haven't woken up:

<xsl:variable name="apos">'<xsl:variable>
