Re: [xsl] check if content value begins with some exact characters

[David Carlisle <davidc at nag dot co dot uk>]

<xsl:template match="xxx">
<xsl:if test="not(starts-with(.,'RE:'))">RE:</xsl:if>
<xsl:apply-templates/>


You might want to change 

starts-with(.

to
starts-with(text()[1]

or

starts-with(normalize-space(.)

depending on your definition of "begins with"
