Question

Having trouble with this XSL transform in my XHTML.

Illustration of my source doc:

<blockquote>
    <center>
       <h1>CHAPTER 100. RANDOM TEXT HERE </h1>
    </center>
    <center>
       <h1>CHAPTER 200. RANDOM TEXT HERE </h1>
    </center>
</blockquote>

My desired output:

<title chapter="100"> CHAPTER 100. RULES OF SOMETHING TEXT HERE </title>
<title chapter="200"> CHAPTER 200. RULES OF SOMETHING TEXT HERE </title>

Any ideas on how I could add this to my XSLT stylesheet? Would I use regex here to help me match on the chapter #?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Well, it would involve something like

<xsl:template match="h1">
  <title chapter="{replace(., 'CHAPTER\s+(\d+)', '$1')}">
    <xsl:apply-templates/>
  </title>
</xsl:template>
