[xsl] NodeTest text()
Subject: [xsl] NodeTest text() From: BODARD Gabriel <gabriel.bodard@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 3 Feb 2004 12:06:40 +0000 (GMT) |
Dear all, I am trying to use the text() nodetest to extract the text only value of a string. Kay (2nd ed.) defines the function of text() as "selects all text nodes on the relevant axis". So, I would expect the text() content of the abbr element in: <abbr>Will<expan>elmus</expan>s</abbr> to be 'Wills'. (This is within the definition of a key and also includes normalise-space and translate, to complicate matters, but it should still all work.) The trouble is that the output I get from this function is 'Will', i.e. only the first text node, rather than all. Am I misunderstanding the definition, misusing the nodetest, or is this a problem with Saxon? Many thanks for any advice. -- ======================================= Gabriel BODARD Centre for Computing in the Humanities King's College London Strand London WC2R 2LS Email: gabriel.bodard@xxxxxxxxx Tel: +44 (0)20 78 48 16 62 Fax: +44 (0)20 78 48 29 80 ======================================= XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
