Subject: Re: [xsl] Splitting file into N-sized chunks
Well it doesn't have to be exactly 300K, could be less of course :)
But XHTML needs to be valid.
So any ideas on (roughly) calculating the size? Number of characters
perhaps?
If you are using Saxon you can use the saxon:string-to-utf8(), but that
assumes that your XHTML output encoding is going to be UTF-8. If your
XHMTL output encoding is going to be UTF-16, then you probably can use
the XSLT string-length() function.
If you are not using Saxon, but using XSLT 2, you can use the XSLT
string-to-codepoints() function and calculate the UTF-8 length based on
the codepoints. I did that for a project back a while ago that wasn't
using Saxon.
Everytime you output a tag, whitespace or text you will have to keep
track of its length. Since you will always have a static XHTML header
and footer that wraps your content, you might pre-calculate that length
rather than calculate it on the fly.
Hope this helps, Andy.
