I am generating pdf files based on the output from a rich text editor, some of the components like font color, font size for a specific word or a paragraph comes like
<p>Hello Hi <strong>skansdjnsjc</strong>
<span style="color:#ce181e"><em>cddsklncjkdsv</em></span>
<span style="color:#ce181e">sdsadsad</span></p>
And in my xslt file I did a template match like
<xsl:template match="span">
<xsl:variable name="color">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@color">
<xsl:value-of select="@color"/>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>black</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
</xsl:template>
But the required styles are not being rendered in the pdf file. Am I missing anything? or is there any solution to it.
Thanks For the help in advance !!!
In XSLT 2.0, you could extract the color from the style attribute like so
<xsl:variable name="extractColor" select="tokenize(tokenize(@style, ';')[normalize-space(substring-before(., ':')) = 'color'], ':')[2]" />
Then, to set your color
variable (setting it to black
if no color was extracted), do this....
<xsl:variable name="color" select="($extractColor, 'black')[1]" />
Of course, if you extended to extract other values, you could create a function.
Try this XSLT
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="2.0" xmlns:my="my">
<xsl:output method="html" indent="yes" html-version="5"/>
<xsl:template match="span">
<span>
<xsl:variable name="color" select="(my:extract(@style, 'color'), 'black')[1]" />
<xsl:value-of select="$color" />
</span>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="my:extract">
<xsl:param name="text" />
<xsl:param name="name" />
<xsl:sequence select="tokenize(tokenize($text, ';')[normalize-space(substring-before(., ':')) = $name], ':')[2]" />
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
