    Parse textrows (separated with line breaks) as items

    Hi!

    I have a textbox multiple where the editors are supposed to enter textlines with ordinary line breaks. Is there some way I can split the rows transforming them to <ul><li>'s, like this?

    "First row
    Second row
    Third row"

    to

    <ul><li>First row</li><li>Second row</li><li>Third row</li></ul>

    Can I do this without c#?

    Regards / Jonas

    It is without doubt easier to do this from C# that in xslt. But you can try if you can get the umbraco.library.Split(string StringToSplit, string Separator) method to split on the linebreaks by using "\r\n" or "\n" as a separator. This will get you some xml like

    <values>
    <value>blah1</value>
    <value>blah2</value>
</values>

    Brilliant!

    <xsl:variable name="splitted" select="umbraco.library:Split($currentPage/data [@alias = 'MyTextboxMultiple'],'&#x0A;')"/>
    <ul>
    <xsl:for-each select="$splitted/value">
    <li><xsl:copy-of select="."/></li>
    </xsl:for-each>
    </ul>

    Thanks Morten
