I have my quotations in a XML-file that looks like this:
<coll>
<quote>
<line>The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read them.</line>
<source>Mark Twain</source>
</quote>
</coll>
After the first pass it should be something like
<coll>
<quote category="Mark Twain">
<line>The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read them.</line>
<source>Mark Twain</source>
</quote>
</coll>
With this additional information in place I want to generate a XHTML-file like this:
[html-stuff snipped]
<h2 id="Mark_Twain>Mark Twain</h2>
<blockquote>
<p>The man who does not read books has no advantage over the man that can not read them.</p>
</blockquote>
That is, the second pass categorizes the quotations by author or content. I'd use
<xsl:template match="*[local-name()='quote']">
<xsl:element name="quote">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains(.,'Mark Twain')">
<xsl:attribute name="category">Mark Twain</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:when>
And here is one of my problems: contains is case-sensitive. I'd like to catch all cases of case - ;-) - with one test. Is this possible?
Is my method of using two styles/two passes good, or is there another way?
