First my normalize-space() question... I'm wondering if it's
possible to normalize all the space without removing the
leading and trailing whitespace?
Slightly tricky one that, even under XSLT 2.0. I came up with
replace($in, '(\S)\s+(\S)', '$1 $2')
but I don't think this works if there are single-character words between the
spaces. Schemes for extracting the leading/trailing whitespace and adding it
back afterwards also have to cater for the possibility that the string is
all-white.
Perhaps:
<xsl:analyze-string select="$in" regex="^(\s*)(.*?)(\s*)$">
<xsl:matching-substring>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(1)"/>
<xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(regex-group(2))"/>
<xsl:value-of select="regex-group(3)"/>
</xsl:matching-substring>
</xsl:analyze-string>
Not tested.

Next, I'm trying to perform conversion from an xml format
which contains XHTML to WordML and I'm having trouble
figuring out how to deal with formatting such as bold,
italics, etc. First though, I'm also just having specific
WordML problems, and I was wondering if anyone knew of a list
where I could ask WordML questions on.
Anyways, obviously in XHTML these kind of things can be added
to be nested in each other, such as:
<b> bold text <i> bold and italic </i> just bold again </b>
however, in WordML, it's all a flat structure, so you need to
do something
like:
<w:r><w:rPr><w:b/></w:rPr><w:r><w:t>bold text</w:t></w:r>
<w:r><w:rPr><w:b/><w:i/></w:rPr><w:r><w:t>bold and
italic</w:t></w:r>
<w:r><w:rPr><w:b/><w:i/></w:rPr><w:r><w:t>bold again</w:t></w:r>
I currently deal with it by calling a template from each
formatting element (b, i, etc.) which checks all its
ancestors to see if there's any of the formatting elements
above it, and then applies it to the text() node, and then
calls apply-templates to everything below it, like follows:
<w:r>
<w:rPr>
<xsl:if
test="ancestor-or-self::xhtml:strong|ancestor-or-self::xhtml:b
|ancestor-or-s
elf::b">
<w:b/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if
test="ancestor-or-self::xhtml:em|ancestor-or-self::i">
<w:i/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="ancestor-or-self::xhtml:u">
<w:u w:val="single"/>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if
test="ancestor-or-self::xhtml:a|ancestor-or-self::link|ancesto
r-or-self::Lin
k_Text">
<w:color w:val="0000FF"/>
<w:u w:val="single"/>
</xsl:if>
</w:rPr>
<w:t><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></w:t>
</w:r>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
However, this only works if the text is immediately nested
inside the elements, like this:
<b><i>bold and italic text</b></i>
and not in cases like the earlier example, where I then end
up with something like the following:
<b> bold text just bold again</b><b><i>bold and italic</b></i>
And I'm not really sure how to fix it.
So, hopefully that made sense, and any help is appreciated,
Thanks,
Jordan
