Hi Jukka,

Remove the following:


>     <xsl:variable name="sourcevariable" select="substring-before($source,
>      '.')" /> <!-- file extension is cutted out -->

And with minor adjustments you'll get the intended results.

As it is now, you're trying to strip the text after the dot ***on every call*** to the template.

The second time (in case there's just one dot in the text) you do this $sourcevariable wil be set
to the empty string.

Hope this helped,

Cheers,
Dimitre Novatchev.
