Here is some functionality that I would like to emulate in XSLT. I have some xml element called "Name". I want to check the length of the "Name" element. If the string length for this is for example 10. I want to write it in a fixed width for example 20. So since I want the field to be fixed I want to add 10 fill charaters. The number of fill characters I want to add will vary as per the string length. Also the alignment can be different. If the alignment is center then I want to add fill characters before(here 5) and after (here 5) the actual Name. If alignment is left then I want to add fill characters (here 10)after the name and similarly for right aligned I want to add before the Name. Do you think something like this is feasible using XSL for variable lengths of the strings that come from xml? Your help is really appreciated.
