Description

The XSLT 2.0 specification describes character maps and explains how they may be used to allow a specific character appearing in a text or attribute node in a final result tree to be substituted by a specified string of characters during serialization. The read-character-map template provides a means for reading and using character maps with XSLT 1.0-based tools.

This template reads the character-map contents from uri (in full or in part, depending on the value of the use.subset parameter), then passes those contents to the apply-character-map template, along with content, the data on which to perform the character substitution.

Using the character map “in part” means that it uses only those output-character elements that match the XPath expression given in the value of the subset.profile parameter. The current implementation of that capability here relies on the evaluate extension XSLT function.
