Re: Identifying place names in text...

Can I use XSLT to search for place names in the title of all the books? I
would like to use a wordlist of geographical place names (which I already
have). This would contain coutry and city names. The stylesheet would match
occurances of these words in the <title> XML element. The output here would
be a list of all books which have references about locations in the title.

<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="title">
	<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
	<xsl:for-each select="$locations[contains(current(),.)]">
		<reference><xsl:value-of select="."/></reference>
	</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

locations.xml would contain:
<places>
	<city>London</city>
	<city>Paris</city>
</places>

regards,
