I'm taking my first stab at making a global parameter, through which I'd
like to set font attributes for character sets of different languages.
I'm using TEI-P5 with XSL 2, and I want my parameter to work with xml:lang.
It tried writing this way:
<xsl:template name="languageWrap">
<xsl:param name="contents">
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:param>
I am not sure I understand what you want to achieve without seeing the
input XML and the output you want to create but your text above says
"making a global" parameter while here you are defining a parameter that
is local to your template named "languageWrap".
A global parameter is defined as a child of the xsl:stylesheet element,
not inside of a template, and is used to allow to pass in a value to the
transformation that can be changed each time the transformation is run.
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@xml:lang='sa'">
You might want to use the 'lang' function
http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath/#function-lang e.g.
<xsl:when test="lang('sa')">
as that way you could check for the language defined on the context node
or an ancestor while your check with @xml:lang only checks the context node.
<span style="font-family: 'Times Ext Roman'">
<xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
</span>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@xml:lang='zh'">
<span style="font-family: Mincho,MingLiU, Batang, Simsun">
<xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
</span>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="@xml:lang='ko'">
<span style="font-family: Batang, BatangChe">
<xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
</span>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:copy-of select="$contents"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
But nothing happens in the generated HTML--there are no <span> tags
generated at all in the document. Any suggestions as to what I should be
looking for here?
Show us some context where you call the above template and where we can
see what the context node is and which xml:lang value it has.
