Can you grab each NMTOKEN in a set of NMTOKENS

mountainbiker · Mar 7, 2003

A DTD like

<!ELEMENT surgery (mark)>
<!ELEMENT human EMPTY>
<!ATTLIST human
bodyparts NMTOKENS #IMPLIED
>

A XML like
<surgery>
<human bodyparts="arm leg head" />
</surgery>

How can I grab "arm", "leg" and "head" for use in my XSLT? I don't have the option of changing the DTD

CAN THIS BE IMPROVED ON?

I used the extension from

http://www.exslt.org/str/functions/tokenize/str.tokenize.template.xsl

--- the xml source ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="C:\Program Files\Altova\XML Spy Suite\Examples\nmtokens2.xsl"?>

<surgery>

<human bodyparts="arm leg head"/>
</surgery>

--- the stylesheet ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="

http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

xmlns:str="

http://exslt.org/strings"

extension-element-prefixes="str">

<xsl:import href="str.tokenize.template.xsl" />

<xsl

utput method="xml" version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes" media-type="text/html"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<head>
<title>
test
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>
<xsl:call-template name="str:tokenize">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="//surgery/human/@bodyparts" />
<xsl:with-param name="delimiters" select="string(' ')" />
</xsl:call-template>
</h2>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

--- output ---
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<html>
<head>
<title>
test
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>
<token>arm</token>
<token>leg</token>
<token>head</token>
</h2>
</body>
</html>

--- QUESTION ---
rather than outputting the token as <token> elements, i would like to do some additional processing based on each token value. for example, if token = arm then print the html statement

<h2>the patient has had surgery on their arm<h2>
