    Replace text with a link

    Hi..

    How can I replace a string with a link in xslt?
    E.g. if the string contains www or http:// it should make it to a link..

    but there is probably no way to change the link text to something else without writing the full html code or use a datatype which allow inserting of links..

    Hi Bjarne

    Let's say that the text is placed in a variable called $text.Then something like this should do the trick:

    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test="contains($text,'http://') or contains($text,'www')">
        <a href="{$text}">Click me!</a>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:otherwise>
        <xsl:value-of select="$text" />
      </xsl:otherwise>
    </xsl:choose>

    I hope that helps :)

    Hi Kim

    This require more to work, but can I do a test on the string, so it not takes all words, e.g. if I write in the datatype table cell: Here is a link to www.google.com .. so it's only www.google.com which will be a link..?

    it's not the most important thing, but it would be nice to have the possibility to include other words... perhaps something like it should start the link where www og http:// starts and then end the link after a space..

    Right now I only have a link here: http://sub.ak-security.dk/da/shop/lygter/led-lenser-p7.aspx under the Specifikationer tab to the manufacturer.
