[xsl] Breaking up Program Code Examples
Subject: [xsl] Breaking up Program Code Examples From: Craig Sampson <Craig.Sampson@xxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:33:40 +0000 |
Hello, We are having issues with copying and pasting programming code examples in our documentation. The documentation has coding examples and our users want to copy these lines of code and paste them in their applications in order to run them. The newlines in the code, we're outputting in as-is mode, were being lost so Antenna House suggested that we place <fo:block> elements around each line of code. Outputting each line in its own block will hopefully eliminate the problem. We are using an xsl:tokenize statement to read up until the newline character. This works fine for breaking up our code examples into individual lines but we have 2 problems. 1) We lose indents in the code when pasted. 2) We allow a few embedded elements, like <userSuppliedValue>, within our <code> element that we are losing through the tokenize. We still need these to surface so we can react when they are present. Here is the example of the tokenize: <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="code" space-before="6pt" space-after="0pt" white-space="pre" white-space-treatment="preserve" linefeed-treatment="preserve"> <xsl:for-each select="tokenize(., '\n')"> <fo:block><xsl:sequence select="."/></fo:block> </xsl:for-each> </fo:block> Here is an example of the XML: <codeBlock eid="n0b7p8f53ujhsbn17928o22t9lyb"> <code eid="p01xqdrm89zmnon115yg9qm064mb">begin; x=y+<userSuppliedValue>2</userSuppliedValue>; end;</code> </codeBlock> The <userSuppliedValue> element italizes the code it contains but since it's getting eaten by tokenize what we get is: begin; x=y+2; end; Thanks for any suggestions on how to get this working.
