Thank you, David and Ivan. It did, of course, work... I just had more
problems than I thought. The code you helped with, works in situations
like:
<unittitle>"The Atomic Bomb Foreshadowed: 1700 Years Ago". 1947.</unittitle>
However, I also have to account for situations like:
<unittitle>
<title render="doublequote">The Atomic Bomb Foreshadowed: 1700
Years Ago</title>. 1947.</unitdate>
</unittitle>
There are separate instructions that insert " before the title/text()
and ." after title/text(), which results in:
"The Atomic Bomb Foreshadowed: 1700 Years Ago.". 1947.
In this scenario, how can I get rid of the extraneous period? Should I
test for a unittitle/title that is immediately followed by a period?
If so, how would I do that? Testing on unittitle/title won't let me
change anything outside the node, like the extra period.
Many, many thanks for your wisdom.
Nathan

The above should (obviously) have been the other way around –
⟨"⟩⟨any character other than ‘.’⟩, with the example being, say:
Source: <unittitle>"Mary had a little lamb" </unittitle>
Result: <unittitle>"Mary had a little lamb."</unittitle>
My guess is that such “source” element’s text is indeed a bit
unlikely to occur.
