Hi
I want to transform a list of attributes (NMTOKENS) into element. I.e. from:
<foo N="PU US UK"/>
to:
<foo><St>PU</St><St>US</St><St>UK</St></foo>
The following:
<xsl:template match="foo">
<foo
<xsl:variable name="wlista" select="@N"/>
<xsl:variable name="st">
<xsl:call-template name="lists">
<xsl:with-param name="wlist" select="$wlista"/>
<xsl:with-param name="tag" select="'St'"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="$st"/>
</foo >
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="lists">
<xsl:param name="wlist"/>
<xsl:param name="tag"/>
<xsl:variable name="wlistb" select="concat(normalize-space($wlist),' ')"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$wlistb!=' '">
<xsl:variable name="first" select="substring-before($wlistb,' ')"/>
<xsl:variable name="rest" select="substring-after($wlistb,' ')"/>
<xsl:call-template name="lists">
<xsl:with-param name="wlist" select="$rest"/>
<xsl:with-param name="tag" select="$tag"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<xsl:value-of
select="concat('<',$tag,'>',$first,'</',$tag,'>')"/>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Converts it to:
<foo><St>UK</St><St>US</St><St>PU</St></
foo>
Please,
1. How can I replace < and < with < and > in the ouput.
