RE: [xml-dev] append strings in XSLT

["Michael Kay" <mike@saxonica.com>]

XSLT coding questions are best asked on the xsl-list at mulberrytech.com

It looks like you want the concatenated text in an attribute, ist wahr?

In XSLT 2.0:

<element string="{item/title}"/>

In XSLT 1.0 it's 10 lines of code instead of 1:

<element>
  <xsl:attribute name="string">
    <xsl:for-each select="item/title">
      <xsl:value-of select="."/>
      <xsl:if test="position() != last">
        <xsl:text> </xsl:text>
      </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:attribute>
</element>
