Hi all,

I am trying to use XSL to do the common mark-up found in web forums,
etc (I am making my own mini-forum integrated into my application).



XML (input):

 <text>
   <value>Text may contain [b]bold text[/b], [i]italics[/i] or both
[b][i]bold and italics[/i][/b].</value>
 </text>

(X)HTML (desired output):

 <div class="text">Text may contain <b>bold text</b>, <i>italics</i> or
both <b><i>bold and italics</i></b>.</div>


XSLT (incomplete):


 <xsl:template match="text">
   <div class="text">
     <xsl:value-of select="value"/>
   </div>
 </xsl:template>


I am stumped on how to continue... maybe just give me some ideas and I will continue from there...

Also, how should I handle incomplete or wrongly nested tags
(eg. <value>[b]blah blah [b][i]blah blah[/b][/i]</value>)

Most web forums normally just do not convert "bad" tags and
leave them for users to edit and fix them, so I guess I
should try to do the same.


Regards, Daniel
