I am struggling a bit with trying to extract inserted text in a
change tracked ODF
document --
since text inserts are recorded in the document using the 2 elements
which share
the id attribute : <text:change-start id="an_id" /> and
<text:change-end id="an_id" />
placed arbitrarily in the document depending upon where new text was inserted
(See example below ).
How do i get the text content contained by these two tags ?
You don't ask which technology you are using, but if it is based on
XPath 2.0 then you could use this to get all of the text nodes,
assuming that the starting element is in $n:
$n/following::text() except
$n/following::*...@text:change-id=$n/@text:change-id][1]/following::text()
This is a common requirement and is included in one of the hands-on
exercises in our five-day class on XSLT/XQuery. In the exercise
there are additional constraints of excluding particular text nodes
based on ancestry, which you may find applies in your case. If true,
then add some predicates to the left operand.
I hope this helps.
