Hi Ali,

It looks to me as if you are using the template like a call-template and pass the actual data as parameters instead of using the current context node. Ever considered using match="*" mode="strSplit-to-word"?

Anyhow, I think you will be getting closer when you pass an argument to the generate-id() function, perhaps $arg1/*[1]? E.g. generate-id($arg1/*[1])..

Cheers,
Geert

This is the template which I call it to segment a text to "sentences" (special caracteres as delimetrs)

(I am modifing the module "strSplit-to-word.xsl" in fxsl library, to permit the split to sentence.)

<xsl:template match="str-split2words-func:*">
 <xsl:param name="arg1" select="/.."/>
 <xsl:param name="arg2"/>

 <xsl:copy-of select="$arg1/*[1]"/>
 <xsl:copy-of select="$arg1/sentence[position() != last()]"/>

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($arg1/*[1], $arg2)">
<xsl:if test="string($arg1/sentence[last()])">
<xsl:copy-of select="$arg1/sentence[last()]"/>
</xsl:if>
<sentence/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<sentence>
<xsl:attribute name="stamp">
<xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:attribute name="status">nonDisamb</xsl:attribute>
<original>
<xsl:attribute name="sourceLang">En</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:value-of select="concat($arg1/sentence[last()], $arg2)"/>
</original>
</sentence>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

Hi,

Generate-id() function bases its id's on the current context node. You can supply an XPath as parameter to select another node to base the id on.

Can you supply a larger snippet of your XSL. At least the xsl-template in which you use the function?

Cheers,

Hi,

I am using the XPath function "generate-id()", obviously to give an xml id to some node in the target document as folowing:
...
<sentence>
<xsl:attribute name="stamp">
<xsl:value-of select="generate-id()"/>
</xsl:attribute>
...
</sentence>
...

But in the result, all the attribut "stamp" generated have the same value !!!
Can you help me?

Tx

Ali,
