[oXygen-user] Author : Number of characters

[Rogie Isabelle]

Hi,

Thanks for your help!
I found another solution; I added a predicat in the select node with specific ancestor axis.

	<xsl:template match="/">
		<xsl:text>The document contains </xsl:text>
		<xsl:call-template name="add">
			<xsl:with-param name="nodes" select="//text()[ancestor::p|ancestor::HeadLine]"/>
		</xsl:call-template>
		<xsl:text> characters.</xsl:text>
	</xsl:template>

Regards,
 
Isabelle

Hi Isabelle,

You can just use the following XPath expression:
sum(//p/string-length(normalize-space()))

The stylesheet works ok for me, it gives as output:
"The document contains 16 characters."

Best Regards,
George
