[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Re: Convert newlines to <BR/>
 This solution works for me:
Given the input document:
<doc>
<p>This is some text.</p>
<programlisting><![CDATA[This is a paragraph
with some newlines
does it work?]]></programlisting>
</doc>
The stylesheet:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head/>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="p">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="programlisting">
<span style="font-family:monospace">
<xsl:call-template name="br-replace">
<xsl:with-param name="word" select="."/>
</xsl:call-template>
</span>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="br-replace">
<xsl:param name="word"/>
<!-- </xsl:text> on next line on purpose to get newline -->
<xsl:variable name="cr"><xsl:text>
</xsl:text></xsl:variable>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($word,$cr)">
<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($word,$cr)"/>
<br/>
<xsl:call-template name="br-replace">
<xsl:with-param name="word" select="substring-after($word,$cr)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:value-of select="$word"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Produces:
<html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
<p>This is some text.</p>
<span style="font-family:monospace">This is a paragraph<br> with some
newlines<br> does it work?</span>
</body>
</html>
Which seems to be like what you want...

Subject: Convert newlines to <BR/>
| I have text that contains newlines and I want to replace these with <BR/>.
I
| can't use <PRE> for the output because I need word-wrap to work. Any ideas
| on how to do the conversion? translate(a, b, c) only does single character
| replacements.
|
| Using XT.
