When configured, this server software allows the host machine to share files and printers and make them accessible from Windows clients.

Use custom collations in XSLT 2.0

  • IBM/DeveloperWorks; By Doug Tidwell (Posted by cyberpead on Nov 25, 2008 1:30 PM EDT)
  • Groups: IBM
One emphasis of XSLT 2.0 is better support for internationalization, especially sorting and comparing text. This seemingly simple task is quite complicated in some languages; for example, accented characters can be considered the same or different depending on context. Are Á , À and A the same letter? Sometimes the answer needs to be yes, despite the fact that they are three different code points. The simple string comparison functions found in most languages (including XSLT 1.0) aren't up to the task. This article demonstrates how to write a custom collation function and invoke it from an XSLT 2.0 stylesheet.
