padding EXSLT str padding 1 Jeni Tennison mail@jenitennison.com http://www.jenitennison.com/ 2001-06-08 The str:padding function creates a padding string of a fixed length. 1.1 Jeni Tennison mail@jenitennison.com http://www.jenitennison.com/ 2001-06-21 Added Javascript and MSXML implementations. 1.2 Jeni Tennison mail@jenitennison.com http://www.jenitennison.com/ 2001-11-18 Added description of what to do if the second argument is an empty string; str:padding() should return an empty string. 1.3 Craig Stewart 2002-08-21 Added 4XSLT and libxslt implementation to the list. 1.4 Craig Stewart 2002-11-12 Updated 4XSLT version to 0.12.0a3. The str:padding function creates a padding string of a certain length. The first argument gives the length of the padding string to be created. The second argument gives a string to be used to create the padding. This string is repeated as many times as is necessary to create a string of the length specified by the first argument; if the string is more than a character long, it may have to be truncated to produce the required length. If no second argument is specified, it defaults to a space (' '). If the second argument is an empty string, str:padding returns an empty string. EXSLT str padding function 2 Jeni Tennison mail@jenitennison.com http://www.jenitennison.com 2001-07-18 Altered implementation following suggestions from suggestions from Dimitre Novatchev on XSL-List. It now creates a longer string using concatenation before recursing rather than during recursion, and also copies the string ten times rather than three to limit the amount of recursion. The tail recursiveness of the template has been retained, however.
