copied!<p>I'm having trouble getting XML data to format properly in HTML via XSLT. Here is how data is received:</p> <pre><code> This is some text. <p> This is more text. <p> This is even more text. <p> <a href=www.google.com>Google's website</a> <p> Return to my website. </code></pre> <p>So I have recursion (I think that is what's used in this case) setup. It will create a new paragraph for each p tag, and remove the p tag on our website. Here's the code:</p> <pre><code><xsl:template name="replace_p"> <xsl:param name="text"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="contains($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"/> <br/><br/> <xsl:call-template name="replace_p"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$text"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </code></pre> <p>This works great...except when we have links. I want users to be able to click on the link rather than see the a href tag and code. Only problem is... how do I do this when the replace p template running. My attempt (I feel like I have the right idea, although probably not close):</p> <pre><code> <xsl:template name="replace_p"> <xsl:param name="text"/> <xsl:if test="contains($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="substring-before($text, '&lt;P&gt;') and substring-before($text, '&lt;a href=')"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before(substring-after($text, '&lt;a href='), '&gt;')"/> <br/><br/> <xsl:call-template name="replace_p"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="substring-before($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"> <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"/> <br/><br/> <xsl:call-template name="replace_p"> <xsl:with-param name="text" select="substring-after($text, '&lt;P&gt;')"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="$text"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:if> </xsl:template> </code></pre> <p>I put the test of p tag and a href tag test first, because I want it to check both before going to the next when statement. BUT... I don't know if that's how it necessarily works. Will it check the first p tag and a href tag before going to the next when statement?</p> <p>I also know I need to create an a tag and an href attribute, but i'd like to work on getting the right data to show up first. :)</p> <p>Please let me know if any other information is needed. </p> <p>Thanks!</p>
