Hi,
Here is a funny one : corresponding to an attribute level, I want to insert
a certain number of spaces before the beggining of a line in HTML, i.e. :
XML :
<listing level="4">something coming from a screen</listing>
HTML (in courier):
something coming from a screen
Since I don't know any way of making a loop, and given the fact that spaces
do not make it in HTML, my only guess till now was (beware, this is ugly) :
<xsl:value-of
select="substring(' ',
1, @level+1)"/>
Any more beautiful idea ? (this work almost, except that I get extra spaces
sometime, if I have another markup at the beginning of the line)
