OK, how's this look:
Given:
~~~~~~
<para>This is an image file:
<fig>image1.jpg</fig>
that we would like to like to link to
</para>
Then the xsl (excerpt):
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<xsl:template match="para">
<p><xsl:apply-templates/></p>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fig">
<xsl:variable name="figure"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:variable>
<a href="{$figure}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>
</xsl:template>
Gives:
~~~~~~
This is an image file: image1.jpg that we would like to like to link to
With:
~~~~~
the text: 'image1.jpg' being a hypertext link to the file 'image1.jpg'
Some thoughts:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- I'm not sure if there's another way other then using variables, but it
seemed the only way to get the value of "fig" into the href attribute.
- You can probably:
1) get it so that you have <fig>image1</fig> which produces <a
href="image1.jpg"... jpg being hardcoded.
or
2) do: <fig type="jpg">image1</fig>
But I'm too new to this to figure it out quickly.
- Beware: I've only been doing XSL(T) for a week, and have probably messed
up some stuff. But this was a good excercise, if only it helped myself! :)
The full xsl:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";>
<xsl:template match="/">

<head>
<title>Image Link</title>

<xsl:apply-templates/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">

</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="fig">
<xsl:variable name="figure"><xsl:value-of select="."/></xsl:variable>
<a href="{$figure}"><xsl:apply-templates/></a>

</xsl:stylesheet>
