Re: Howto generate a list xpath queries that are used

Hi,

ok, this is the answer i came up with so far, it filters out strings and
also checks other attributes besides slect and test (i assume one you have
to use {function()} when u use it in other attributes then select or test)
If someone has a better idea, or a better solution, please let me know. U
are always welcome to give examples of xpath-queries that wil be left out by
my function. This is the function:

<xsl:template name="generateUsedXpathQueries">
        <xsl:variable name="bla1" select="'joren'"/>
        <xsl:for-each select="@*">
            <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="name() = 'select'">
                <xsl:variable name="quoteje">'</xsl:variable>
                    <xsl:if test="not(starts-with(normalize-space(.),
$quoteje)) and not(ends-with(normalize-space(.),$quoteje))">
                        <li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
                    </xsl:if>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:when test="name() = 'test'">
                <li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
            </xsl:when>
            <xsl:otherwise>
                <xsl:variable name="attrValue" select="normalize-space(.)"/>
                <xsl:if test="starts-with($attrValue,'{') and
ends-with($attrValue,'}')">
                    <li><xsl:value-of select="."/></li>
                </xsl:if>
            </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
        <xsl:result-document href="{concat('link', '.pdf')}">
        </xsl:result-document>
        </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

There is probably a shorter way to define it, but it resembles the structure
in my head :p

Grtz,
joren
