[xsl] Display link text as a hyperlink

2008-08-06 07:46:30
I have an xml file that contains this character sequence: 'www.gamefaqs.com' .

Primary Problem:
After I convert the 'www' text to hyperlink format, the xsl displays it as 
plain text, but I would like to display it has a hyperlink.   

Secondary:
I am aware that the url may also contain subfolders like: 
www.gamefaqs.com/console/n64   OR different a suffix like www.gamefaqs.ca., but 
right now I'll focus on .com, but feel free to make suggestions :) .

      <xsl:value-of select=
        "concat(substring-before($outputString,$target),
               $replacement)"/>
