Use a recursive template:
<xsl:template match="element-with-text">
<xsl:call-template name="chars">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="normalize-space()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="chars">
<xsl:param name="string" select="''"/>
<xsl:param name="number-of-chars" select="20"/>
<xsl:value-of select="substring($string, 1, 20)"/>-<br/>
<xsl:if test="string-length($string) > 20">
<xsl:call-template name="chars">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="substring($string, 21)"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
(untested)

Hello,
I have question about XSLT. I have table with many columns. I want to
restrict one of the table column no bigger that say 20 characters. But
the problem is value I am putting in from XML file may have words which
are longer than 20 characters and so table goes wide... !
e.g if the word is testverylongstringgreaterthantwentychar .
What happens is table goes wider.. and don't restrict it to 20
characters and rest show in next row..
I would like to have output something as follows..
testverylongstringic-
hgreaterthantwentych-
ar
Here is the sample of table defination within XSLT
<TABLE BORDER="true" CELLSPACING="1" CELLPADDING="4" WIDTH="98%">
<TR>
<TD WIDTH="20%" VALIGN="TOP" BGCOLOR="#66cccc" HEIGHT="10">
<B><center>
<FONT SIZE="2">
Attribute Name
</FONT>
</center></B>
</TD>
</TABLE>
Do anyone know anyway I can do what I need ? I would be more than happy
even if you point me to right place (if you know) for the question I have.
Thanks a lot for your help,
Mehul.
