Currently this doesn't pull anything from the covers tag, all I get is
empty [].
One thing puzzles me here. Do you really want to match a node that looks
like this:
covers/covers
Likely, you want to match the node 'covers/*' or similar (not sure). Are
there templates that need to be applied? I assume so, because you add
the comma from some place. If indeed the xpath is incorrect, try this:
<xsl:template match="covers">
[<xsl:apply-templates select="normalize-space(*)" />]
</xsl:template>
When I leave out the select portion of the expression I get [ LB 101, LR
1332 ]. What I want is [LB 101, LR 1332]. Is the normalize-space
function the way to go to achieve this?
You are doing it the right thing. However, be aware that
normalize-space() also "folds" all other space nodes. That means that
the following:
<node> this is text
with spaces </node>
becomes:
<node>this is a text with spaces</node>
It that is what you want, it will work.
