Re: using Subversion keyword substitution instead of published date in skin navstrip - using Forrest 0.8

[Brolin Empey]

I am stuck again.

I got the "disable-last-published" variable working by modifying the
skinconfig DTD.

Now I am trying to get my copy of the "pelt" skin to use the value of
my source file's "rev_id" metadata property.

Here is my source file:

...
<document>
 <header>
   <title>...</title>
   <meta name="rev_id">$Id$</meta>
 </header>
...

The "Id" keyword is not expanded because I have not yet committed the
changes to my SVN working copy.

Here is what I have in my site's
src/documentation/skins/pelt-brolin/xslt/html/site-to-xhtml.xsl file.
("pelt-brolin" is my copy of the "pelt" skin.)

 <xsl:template match="[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'rev_id']" name="rev_id">
   rev_id template called.
   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
 </xsl:template>
 <xsl:template name="last-published">
   <xsl:choose>
     <xsl:when test="$config/disable-last-published = 'true'">
       checking for rev_id metadata.
       <xsl:if test="[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'rev_id']">
         calling rev_id template.
         <xsl:call-template name="rev_id"/>
       </xsl:if>
       <xsl:value-of select="[EMAIL PROTECTED] = 'rev_id']"/>
&#160;
     </xsl:when>
     <xsl:otherwise>
<script type="text/javascript"><![CDATA[<!--
document.write("]]><i18n:text >Last Published:</i18n:text><![CDATA[ "
+ document.lastModified);
//  -->]]></script>
     </xsl:otherwise>
   </xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>


I am new to XSL(T).  I have been experimenting with different
approaches, as you can see.

What is the simplest way to have either the "last-published" or
"rev_id" template above output the "$Id$" from my source file's
"rev_id" metadata property?  I need a working XSL(T) example.

Thanks,
Brolin
