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
