You might probably do both things:
<xsl:value-of select="translate(translate(substring-after
(//facsimile/surface[(_at_)n=$loop-variable]/@xml:id,
'f_'),'_',' '),'_',' ')"/>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(translate(substring-after
(//facsimile/surface[(_at_)n=$loop-variable]/@xml:id,
'p_'),'_',' '),'_',' ')"/>
P.S. Note that this is only an assumption.

Subject: [xsl] help with an 'or'
Hi, all :)
I have done a bit of searching on this question but I'm new to XSL, so
I'm not sure what it is that I'm looking *for* exactly.
One of our projects is using XSL to create options in a select field:
-----------------------------------------------
<xsl:element name="option">
<xsl:attribute name="value"><xsl:value-of
select="$loop-variable"/></xsl:attribute>
<xsl:if test="$loop-variable = $curpage">
<xsl:attribute name="selected">true</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$loop-variable = 1">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(translate(substring-after
(//facsimile/surface[(_at_)n=$loop-variable]/@xml:id,
'f_'),'_',' '),'_',' ')"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="($loop-variable = $loop-limit) and
((($loop-variable * 2) - 2) mod 2 = 0)">
<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring-after
(//facsimile/surface[(_at_)n=(($loop-variable * 2) - 2)]/@xml:id,
'f_'),'_',' ')"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring-after
(//facsimile/surface[(_at_)n=(($loop-variable * 2) - 2)]/@xml:id,
'f_'),'_',' ')"/> -
<xsl:value-of select="translate(substring-after
(//facsimile/surface[(_at_)n=(($loop-variable * 2) - 1)]/@xml:id,
'f_'),'_',' ')"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:element>
-----------------------------------------------
The problem is that in the 'value-of select' statements, it's limiting
the list to display only values that start with f_, which is fair enough
- I can see where it's meant to be doing that. What I need it to do,
though, is give me anything that starts with either f_ OR p_.
I'm not sure how to insert any sort of 'or' clause into those statements
and still retain their ability to do what we need them to do (sometimes
we get both f_ and _p on the same line. For an example of a foliated
book, see:
<http://scriptorium.english.cam.ac.uk/manuscripts/images/openings.php?ms=S.5
4&page=2>
The bit I'm trying to modify is the drop down next to the word
'Opening'. Most of the books in the collection are foliated (hence
pages starting with f_) but a recent acquisition is paginated. What
happens is that we get blanks instead of page numbers when the xmlid
consists of p_<some number>. I have modified the code above so that
page 1 and 2 are f_ and the rest are p_, but because this code is reused
with all books, that does break the foliated ones. (Which I expected: I
was just checking to see it worked at all! ;)
Can anyone lend me a hand with this? Apologies if I've been unclear -
I'll do my best to answer any questions you might have.
-Jen
