Re: [xsl] Decimal to hexadecimal in one function (XSLT/XPath 2)

I want to convert the decimal integers returned by the XPath 2 function fn:string-to-codepoints into a sequence of strings that use the conventional "U+..." hexadecimal notation of the Unicode standard.

Neither the XPath 2 spec nor the XSLT FAQ offered a complete solution to this problem, so I developed my own. It is working, but I wonder how to integrate these two functions, which convert a decimal integer into its hexadecimal equivalent, into a single function which still returns just one string:

<xsl:function name="my:decimal-to-hex" as="xs:string">
 <xsl:param name="decimalNumber"/>
<xsl:sequence select="string-join(my:decimal-to-hex- internal($decimalNumber),'')"/>
</xsl:function>

<xsl:function name="my:decimal-to-hex-internal" as="xs:string+">
 <xsl:param name="decimalNumber"/>
 <xsl:variable name="hexDigits" select="'0123456789ABCDEF'"/>
 <xsl:if test="$decimalNumber &gt;= 16">
   <xsl:sequence
select="my:decimal-to-hex-internal(floor($decimalNumber div 16))"/>
 </xsl:if>
 <xsl:sequence
   select="substring($hexDigits, ($decimalNumber mod 16) + 1, 1)"/>
</xsl:function>


I don't think it is elegant at all, but you can collect the recursive digits in a variable and then do this:

<xsl:function name="my:decimal-to-hex" as="xs:string">
  <xsl:param name="decimalNumber"/>
  <xsl:variable name="hexDigits" select="'0123456789ABCDEF'"/>
  <xsl:variable name="upperDigits">
    <xsl:if test="$decimalNumber &gt;= 16">
<xsl:sequence select="string-join(my:decimal-to- hex(floor($decimalNumber div 16)), '')"/>
    </xsl:if>
  </xsl:variable>
<xsl:sequence select="string-join(($upperDigits, substring($hexDigits, ($decimalNumber mod 16) + 1, 1)), '')"/>
</xsl:function>
