RE: [xsl] Data from DB in xsl

["Stevenson Ngila" <Stevenson at epr dot footman-walker dot com>]

on writing the code you gave me, i get the error below:

"Unexpected character in query string. contains($sText,-->\<--n\n)"

here is my code:

<xsl:template name="paragrapher">
	<xsl:param name="sText"/>
	<xsl:if test="contains($sText,\n\n)">
		<p>
			<xsl:value-of select="substring-before($sText,\n\n)"/>
		</p>
	</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>

Hi,

template name=paragrapher
  param text
  if contains($text, \n\n)
    <p>
      substring-before($, \n\n)
    </p>
    call-template name=paragrapher
      with-param name=text select=substring-after($text, \n\n)
  else
    <p>
      $text
    </p>

i.e. recursion is your friend. You should make sure the template handles
whitespace characters between the two LINE FEEDs, but that shouldn't be too
hard to implement.
