Sorry. The email service filtered out the diacritics in the message I just
sent. The three letters in brackets all have diacritics: S-hacek, r-hacek,
and an accented 'i' .

Subject: Does XSLT contain an easy means of determining if a string
contains a diacritic?
Hi,
I need to render Czech language strings containing diacritics into strings
with the diacritics removed. The Czech alphabet has 16 lower case
diacritics and a somewhat smaller set of upper case diacritics. The
strings are expressed in UTF-8. I do not need to retain case, but I must
locate and replace all diacritics.
My only plan so far is construct a gigantic <xsl:choose> to find strings
containing at least one diacritic. Then I would need a gigantic <xsl:if>
to change each diacritic into its unaccented counterpart.
I wonder if there is a simpler method for turning, for example, a word
like "Safarmk" [S, r, m] into Safarik? Any ideas or suggestions,
Thanks,
Mark
