URL Encoding in XSL

RSS
Modified on Wed, Feb 03, 2010, 12:55 PM by Administrator Categorized as XML, XSL, and XPath
The url-encode XSL template will encode any URL contained in the input parameter str.

{copytext|div1}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

  <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="iso-8859-1"/>

  <!-- The string to URL-encode.
       Note: By "iso-string" we mean a Unicode string where all
       the characters happen to fall in the ASCII and ISO-8859-1
       ranges (32-126 and 160-255) -->
  <xsl:param name="iso-string" select="'&#161;Hola, C&#233;sar!'"/>

  <!-- Characters we'll support.
       We could add control chars 0-31 and 127-159, but we won't. -->
