As far as I can tell from XSLT 2.0 specification, there's no way to serialize
text now as Latin, now as Devanagari. Is that correct? Unfortunately the
samples I have aren't distributable, so I hope this example will do. Let's say
I have some XML like this:
<document>
<paragraph>Hello, world!</paragraph>
<paragraph font="Kruti">poiuiertpoi%&(*</paragraph>
</document>
Kruti is a pre-Unicode mapping of single bytes to Devanagari characters. I need
to map the bytes above (which are the same as the values used in the ASCII
encoding of Latin characters) to Devanagari characters when, and only when,
@font eq 'Kruti'.
Clearly, I can write an XSLT 2.0 function to get the code points for
paragraph[@font eq 'Kruti'] and map them to the UTF-16 values myself. Is there
any easier way to do this?
