Title: newbie question: how do i capitalize text?

Joni:

Becuase XML is case sensetive, a transformation of case is semantically equivalent to transforming to a new string. As far as I know, there is no XSL functionality to easily convert from one to the other.

Becuase I can see you are wanting an HTML output, I would presume the end user of your data is using a browser.

Accordingly, I would suggest that your best (and probably the most elegant solution) would be to employ a third party scripting language like _javascript_. I believe the function is String.toUpperCase()

Use the following wrapper for any _javascript_ within an XSL stylesheet:

Subject: newbie question: how do i capitalize text?

Hello,

Is it possible to capitalize some text that my xsl file selects from xml?

If I have some XML like:
<DOCUMENT>
<GREETING>Hello World!</GREETING>
</DOCUMENT>

and some XSL like:
<html>
<b><xsl:value-of select="GREETING"/></b>
</html>

Is there any way to capitalize the result of <xsl:value-of select="GREETING"/> so I get "HELLO WORLD!" instead of "Hello World!"?

Thanks,
Joni
