[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] problem with transforming mixed content
 I would like to ask for your help with the following mixed-content problem. I am receiving, from an external source, data in the following form: <title>THE TITLE OF THE BOOK WITH SOME <i>ITALICS</i> AND SOME MORE WORDS: THE SUBTITLE OF THE BOOK WITH SOME <i>ITALICS</i></title> What I would like to do is 1) separate the title from the subtitle (i.e., divide the data at the colon) and put each in a separate element node; 2) all the while maintaining the <i> markup; 3) and perform certain string manipulations on all of the text nodes; for the purposes of this post, I will use the example of converting upper-case to lower-case. So the desired output is the following: <title>the title of the book with some <i>italics</i> and some more words</title> <subtitle>the subtitle of the book with some <i>italics</i></subtitle> How can this be done? I know that I can perform string manipulations while maintaining the <i> markup with templates, i.e., <xsl:template match="text()"/> and <xsl:template match="i"/>. But in this case I do not know how to divide the data at the colon. And I know that I can divide the data at the colon with <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(.,': ')"/>, but then I loose the <i> markup. So I am at a loss. Thanks in advance for your help!
