<xsl:value-of select="substring-before(para, '.')"/>
This won't return the dot, so you have to add it by hand:
<xsl:value-of select="concat(substring-before(para, '.'), '.')"/>

hi everyone,
I'm looking for a solution for how to get the first sentence (ending with a
'.') of an xml value?
e.g.: xml looks like this:
<para>Some text. And so on, the other sentences</para>
And I'd like to reference somehow to 'Some text.'.
Can XSL or XPath position for that text inline?
Any answers or solutions are welcomed.
Thanks.
Thomas
