RE: How to capitalize text ???
It is possible to use the translate() function, if one doesn't have to worry about non-ASCII characters: e.g., xsl:variable name=titleText xsl:value-of select=//myTitle/ /xsl:variable xsl:value-of select=translate ($titleText,'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz','ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ')/ I think one could put Unicode characters in the translate() strings, but then they could get quite long and very hard to generalize -- which is why text-transform itself is deprecated. Even translate() isn't robustly recommended. From the Xpath spec; Function: string translate(string, string, string) The translate function returns the first argument string with occurrences of characters in the second argument string replaced by the character at the corresponding position in the third argument string. For example, translate(bar,abc,ABC) returns the string BAr. If there is a character in the second argument string with no character at a corresponding position in the third argument string (because the second argument string is longer than the third argument string), then occurrences of that character in the first argument string are removed. For example, translate(--aaa--,abc-,ABC) returns AAA. If a character occurs more than once in the second argument string, then the first occurrence determines the replacement character. If the third argument string is longer than the second argument string, then excess characters are ignored. NOTE: The translate function is not a sufficient solution for case conversion in all languages. A future version of XPath may provide additional functions for case conversion. Fred Andreas L.

It works. Thank you very much. -Original Message- From: Wouter de Vaal [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, February 08, 2004 11:16 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to capitalize text ???
