Remember that \ isn't special in XML or XPath strings, so your string
contains literal backslashes followed by lower case n. In a regular
expression \ is special however, so to match a literal backslash-n you
want \\n insteaf of \n.
Thanks, Liam. Your suggestion solves my problem.
I've some other questions as below, related to xsl:analyze-string,
1) The 1st example here, https://www.w3.org/TR/xslt20/#regex-examples
specifies regex as \n. That probably got me wrong.
that example is matching a newline but you wanted to match the two characters \n
2) The output I receive, has <br> instead of <br/>. I specified <br/> in my
stylesheet. The output I'm getting might be probably because, I have
<xsl:output method="html"/> in the stylesheet.
yes /> is a syntax error in html4 and specified as invalid but ignored in html5
When I change output spec to following, <xsl:output method="xhtml"/> I get
<br></br> in the output.
you would get <br/> for an empty br in the xhtml namespace in xhtml output
but you output br in no-namespace.
When I specify, xsl:output method="xhtml", the following is the complete
output I get,
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><html>
<head>
<title>test</title>
</head>
<body>hello world
<br></br>experimenting with XSLT
<br></br>how are you
</body>
</html>
Shouldn't an XHTML document begin with something like,
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
to get that (which is a very last-century kind of document markup:-)
you need to output elements in the http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml
namespace and specify that dtd in the attributes of xsl:output.
