 Hi Steve, Here's an example: XML: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <contacts> <contact> <email>xxx@xxxxxxxxx</email> </contact> <contact> <email>xxx@xxxxxxxxx</email> </contact> <contact> <email>xxx@xxxxxxxxx</email> </contact> </contacts> XSLT: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="html" version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <html> <body> <xsl:apply-templates/> </body> </html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="contacts/contact/email"> <a> <xsl:attribute name="href">mailto:<xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:attribute> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </a> <br/> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> Hope that helps. cheers Malcolm -----Original Message----- From: Steve Salkin [mailto:steve@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 12:43 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: generating mailto Hi- I'm just getting my feet wet in XSL and it's pretty interesting. I think I am missing something though, because I find myself needing xsl:text more than I think I really ought to. For example, if I have XML <contact> <email>xxx@xxxxxxxxx</email> </contact> and I want to generate a mailto URI like this: <a href="xxx@xxxxxxxxx>xxx@xxxxxxxxx</a> the only thing I can get to work well is something like <td class="contact"> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> <a href= "mailto: </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="contact/email"/> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> "> </xsl:text> <xsl:value-of select="contact/email"/> <xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes"> </a> </xsl:text> </td> because the need for quotes after the "href=" confuses everything (Then I have to hide the '<' because it gets upset when it sees <a href= with no quotes following). I'm sure that there's a more elegant solution than this relatively ugly one. I did try using an <xsl:variable> but I just get $email in the output. Any takers?
