docbook-apps

I'm trying to do a find replace in the title of my docbook (the title is
dynamically generated and if it has certain words in there, I want to
replace them), but I'm not sure how to go about this. In the
titlepage.xsl, I have tried replacing



<xsl:element name="xsl:copy-of">

<xsl:attribute name="select"> $recto.content</xsl:attribute>

</xsl:element>



with



<xsl:element name="xsl:copy-of">

<xsl:attribute
name="select">translate($recto.content,"'FindMe'","'ReplaceMe'")</xsl:at
tribute>

</xsl:element>



This ends up producing all sorts of garbage objects, and I suspect this
is because I have a mediaObject on my title page.



I'm really just trying to do the find/replace inside the title tags of
my docbook xml. Can someone point me in the right direction on this?



Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,
In xslt 1.0, you'll need to use a recursive template for that. Here's
an example:

If you can do a xslt 2.0 preprocessing step, then you can use
replace() and regular expressions.
