Subject: Does XSLT contain an easy means of determining if a string contains a diacritic?
From: "Mark Wilson" <mark@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Hi, I need to render Czech language strings containing diacritics into strings with the diacritics removed. The Czech alphabet has 16 lower case diacritics and a somewhat smaller set of upper case diacritics. The strings are expressed in UTF-8. I do not need to retain case, but I must locate and replace all diacritics.

My only plan so far is construct a gigantic <xsl:choose> to find strings containing at least one diacritic. Then I would need a gigantic <xsl:if> to change each diacritic into its unaccented counterpart.

I wonder if there is a simpler method for turning, for example, a word like "Safarmk" [S, r, m] into Safarik? Any ideas or suggestions, Thanks, Mark
