  1. POescaping html tags inside xslt:value-of select
    text
    copied!<p><br/> I am converting text inside a XML document element (<em>which also contains other texts not only a hyperlink</em>) to hyperlink using the following:<br/></p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:value-of select="replace(AUTHOR_CONTACT_INFORMATION, '(abc@yahoo.com)', '&amp;lt;a href=&amp;quot;$1&amp;quot;&amp;gt;$1&amp;lt;/a&amp;gt;')"/&gt; </code></pre> <p>XML Source:</p> <pre><code>&lt;AUTHOR_CONTACT_INFORMATION&gt;Plugin author can be reached at abc@yahoo.com for his email.&lt;/AUTHOR_CONTACT_INFORMATION&gt; </code></pre> <p>Unfortunately, I cannot escape the '&lt;' &amp; '&gt;' tags used in a href. My XSLT processor is Qt4's QXmlQuery class. It seems it doesn't support 'disable-output-escaping' attribute in the above expression and I can't seem to find any other way than to manually parse the final output and replace each '&amp;lt' &amp; '&amp;gt' with '&lt;' &amp; '>' using C++ code.</p> <p>PS: Couldn't get 'analyse-string' to work in qt either. It just returns empty string. Refered to <a href="http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/rev2/regex2.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/rev2/regex2.html</a> question 3 and used the following:</p> <pre><code>&lt;xsl:analyze-string select="AUTHOR_CONTACT_INFORMATION" regex="(abc@yahoo.com)"&gt; &lt;xsl:matching-substring&gt; &lt;a href="{.}"&gt;&lt;xsl:value-of select="." /&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/xsl:matching-substring&gt; &lt;xsl:non-matching-substring&gt; &lt;xsl:value-of select="." /&gt; &lt;/xsl:non-matching-substring&gt; &lt;/xsl:analyze-string&gt; </code></pre> <p>The above works fine in 'Altova XMLSpy' doing exactly what I want. But in Qt4, the output has empty string (To be more accurate my &lt;td&gt; tag before this expression is also mysteriously gone in the output, weird). Qt4 documentation says its processor supports 'xsl:analyze-string'. Any one have a working example of 'xsl:analyze-string' in Qt?</p> <p>Qt4 documentation says its processor doesn't support 'xsl:character-map' so no point going there.</p> <p>Without 'xsl:analyze-string' working I am back to square one with 'replace()'.</p> <p>-Sanjeev</p>
