Hi Everyone,
I'm beating my head against a wall here, and haven't been able to work
out how to capture the text around a node.
Here is the snippet of xml:
<book isbn="88888">
This book <title>Lord of the rings</title> is often misquoted.
...
</book>
Now I have tried to work out how, but failed miserably and would
appreciate some help, or even better an explaination as to why/how to
do this.
Here is my attempt to do it:
<xsl:template match="book">
<fo:block font-size="12pt" font-family="serif" line-height="16pt">
<xsl:variable name="txtFirst" select='substring-before( /book/text(), "(" )' />
<xsl:value-of select="$txtFirst" />
<xsl:value-of select="title" />
<xsl:text>After this is something:</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="/child::title/child::text()" />
</fo:block>
</xsl:template>
When I do just variable name="txt" select="text()" i only get all text
up to the title tag. How can I get the text after the title node?
Regards,
Pete.
