Hi,
I'm working on a regular-expression XMLReader implementation and
the stylesheets I'm using are very similar to an XSLT stylesheet. (For
an example see [1]). Basically, instead of a select="/" attribute as
before, what would happen if we simply replaced the "/" (for example)
with a regular expression, say "/A" (start of document).
<stylsheet>
<xsl:template match="/A"> <!-- reg expression for beginning of whole thing -->
<such-and-such>
<xsl:apply-templates select="(?m)^[A-Z ]+$"/>
</such-and-such>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="(?m)^[A-Z]+$">
<all-caps-line>
<xsl:value-of select="."/>
</all-caps-line>
</xsl:template>
</stylesheet>
What I'm working on right now lacks recursion and perhaps, Lord
willing, I can re-work it sometime in the future, but does replacing
an XPath object with some kind of regular-expression object sound
feasible?
Sincerely,
Elizabeth
