    reformatting text (tags) to something else

    I have a lot of tags ~60 that are all lowercase with no spaces.  I want to display the tags on the site in a nicely formatted box with proper capitalization and spaces in the words.  

    Example:

    URL/?filter=tagone,tagtwo,tagthree is my url that I pull the parameter from and display my nodes that match those.  

    I just want to have those tags display under the matches like Tag One, Tag Two, Tag Three.  Would I use template-match or just variables and if statements?

    Hi BenH,

    I'd probably do it using a lookup XML variable, to map the URL values to their display values, something like this:

    <xsl:variable name="filter" select="umbraco.library:RequestQueryString('filter')" />
<xsl:variable name="tagsFromFilter" select="umbraco.library:Split($filter, ',')/value" />

<!-- Map between URL values and display values -->
<xsl:variable name="tagsProxy">
    <tag id="tagone">Tag One</tag>
    <tag id="tagtwo">Tag Two</tag>
    <tag id="tagthree">Tag Three</tag>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="tags" select="msxml:node-set($tagsProxy)" />

<xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:for-each select="$tagsFromFilter">
        <xsl:value-of select="$tags/tag[@id = current()]" />
        <xsl:if test="not(position() = last())">, </xsl:if>
    </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

    Hope that gets you on the right track,

    /Chriztian
