RE: [xsl] Getting the Base Character of Character with Diacritic

Following up on suggestions from others, if NFKD is supported then the
following should work reasonably well for European languages:

replace(normalize-unicode($in, 'NFKD'), '[̀-ͯ]', '')

or if you prefer

codepoints-to-string(string-to-codepoints(normalize-unicode($in,
'NFKD'))[not(. = 768 to 879)])

Subject: [xsl] Getting the Base Character of Character with Diacritic

Hi,

Is there a way in xslt for me to get the base character of a 
character with diacritic?
Like ā to a? I was thinking of using the translate function, 
but it there are too many characters to include.
