Alice,
Are you using XSLT 1.0 or 2.0?
In 2.0, we have the function tokenize(), which makes this much
easier. (It is also commonly available as a extension in 1.0: check
your processor.)
In 1.0 you need to use a recursive template, not unlike what Mike
just wrote about in the thread " get value from link from last
slash". You work through the string one item at a time by handling
the first item and then calling the same template again with the
remaining ones.
Cheers,
Wendell

Hi,
I am really new to this, and I understand that in Tennison (2004)
and Kay (2004), there is a function called substring-before and
after to extract information before or after a certain element.
Here is my XML:
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="cheese">Cheddar Cheese</to_do>
</listItem>
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="beef">Chuck Steak</to_do>
</listItem>
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="vegetables">Brocololi, Beans,
Carrots</to_do>
</listItem>
<listItem>
<to_do xml:id="milk">Dean's Low Fat Milk 2%</to_do>
</listItem>
<do>
<date>2007-11-14</date>
<list>milk cheese vegetables beef</list>
<limit_price>20</limit_price>
<do>
Current XSL:
<xsl:template name="do_list">
<xsl:variable name="item" select="list"/>
<xsl:variable name="tasks" select="substring-after($item, ' ')"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="contains($item,' '
<xsl:value-of select="id($item)"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$item"/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
Intended Output in HTML:
<ul>
<li>Cheddar Cheese</li>
<li>Chuck Steak</li>
<li>Brocololi, Beans, Carrots</li>
<li>Dean's Low Fat Milk 2%</li></ul>
Is it possible to reparse these elements in the XML recursively?
Thanks in advance.
Alice
