XSLT and the q element

Use of medial on quotes / "Jim Schaad" ... ]
XSLT and the q element

I was looking at doing an XSLT that automatically chose the correct form of
quotation marks to insert into a text as the stylesheet was running. Given
that I am using the milestone version of the q element, the only way that I
can see to do this is to write a very complex select criteria (based on
counting the number of q elements with sID vs eID). Does anybody know of a
better way of doing this?

Hi,
The 'q' element has a very useful attribute: 'level' that can be used to set
the depth of the quotations.
Peace,
David

Assuming that you didn't put in any continuing quote markers at paragraph
breaks ... the count is quite fast and worthy to use.

Yes. But of course I did use the continuing quote markers.

Counting does not work well with milestone elements as they can be in
inconvienent places.
I'd love to be proven wrong with a fragment of xslt that works.

Jim,
If the source text uses the level attribute then it is quite simple.
Also the "marker" attribute if used will tell you the exact character to
use.
You should not have trouble with continuation quote marks because they
are not marked with a <q> element but rather the <milestone>
element.
