I could use some help manipulating a paragraph of text delimited by a
semicolon into a series of step elements. I need to take note/paragraph and
create a series of steps. I'm using XSLT 2.0.
The XSL does not take advantage of XSLT 2.0. How about something like this for
the core routine with the tokenize() function:
<xsl:template match="note[contains(para, 'Follow-on')]">
<followon.maintsk>
<xsl:for-each select="tokenize(para, '[:;]')">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() = 1">
<title><xsl:value-of select="."/></title>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<step1><para>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</para></step1>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:for-each>
</followon.maintsk>
</xsl:template>
Of course, the changes in punctuation are not yet handled, but using replace()
this would not be too difficult. I guess.

This:
<note>
<para>Follow-on maintenance: Stuff to do;
More stuff do to; And then even more stuff to do.</para>
</note>
To this:
<followon.maintsk>
<title>FOLLOW ON MAINTENANCE</title>
<step1><para>Stuff to do.</para></step1>
<step1><para>More stuff to do.</para></step1>
<step1><para>And then even more stuff to do.</para><step1>
</followon.maintsk>
I've started with this. However this only captures the first item. And I
realized later would NOT capture the last item, because it ends with a
period, not a semicolon. One note, this is just a small part of much larger
transform, hence the "mode."
<xsl:template match="note" mode="followon">
<xsl:if test="(child::para) and (contains(child::para,'Follow-on'))">
<followon.maintsk>
<title><xsl:text>FOLLOW ON MAINTENANCE</xsl:text></title>
<xsl:variable name="noFollow">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-after(.,':')"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="steptext">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($noFollow,';')"/>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:for-each select="$steptext">
<step1>
<para>
<xsl:value-of select="$steptext"/><xsl:text>.</xsl:text>
</para>
</step1>
</xsl:for-each>
</followon.maintsk>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
