Is there a way to temporarily enable an XSLT2 character-map.
No ... it is a global property of the serialization.
My
use-case is generating
python code which will contain string literals. Some of the code I'm
generating looks like
this...
Check_Range_IADAS001_0 = make_range_check("Check_Range_IADAS001_0",
"IADAS001", "IGQS572", GT, "10", "Max = 10")
This particular line is fine but the string "Max = 10" is coming
directly from the input document
and it might contain things which need to be escaped in a python
literal (e.g. ", ' etc). I thought
I could use character-maps but my understanding is that you have to
apply one to an entire final
result tree so if I were to have....
<xsl:character-map name="python-map">
<xsl:output-character character=""" string="\""/>
</xsl:character-map>
It would escape all instances of """ in the output which is not
what I want.
Am I trying to use the wrong tool here?
At the time you are writing your strings you could use:
<xsl:value-of select="replace(.,'"','\\"')"/>
in order to localize the changes to only that string that you want.
I hope this helps.
