[jelly] making xml:expr case-insensitive
In the examples coming with the distribution of jelly there is
\jakarta-commons-sandbox\jelly\src\test\org\apache\commons\jelly\html\exampl
e.jelly
This script extracts the title of index.html using the xpath expression
"$doc/html/head/title".
If you change the case setting of any of the tags in index.html without
adapting the xpath expression the title element is no longer found.
My questions:
1) Can I configure html:parse to change the case setting of the retrieved
document? How?
2) Is there any transformer available that can change the case setting of
element and attribute names?
3) Can I configure x:expr to ignore the case settings of the xpath
expression given in the select attribute? How?

Hi James
I tested it and it worked immediately. Thank you very much for reacting so
quickly!

OK I've finished the unit tests - it seems to work fine now. Its all in CVS
HEAD.
You can now use NeckoHTML's features for turning elements or attributes
upper case or lower case (or in the case of elements, matching them) via
specifying an element and attribute attributes.
e.g. to upper case the elements but lowercase the attributes you can do...
<html:parse var="doc" html="index.html" element="upper"
attribute="lower"/>
or to make everything lower case
<html:parse var="doc" html="index.html" element="lower"
attribute="lower"/>
The default is to leave case as it was but to match element case (so that
open and close elements have the same case).

The NeckoHTML parser already allows for this. I'll add these customisation
options to the Jelly tag in a moment.

Yes. The HTML parser, NeckoHTML already does this.

XPath can do this kinda thing but its inefficient and a bit ugly. e.g.
$doc/*[upper-case(name())='FOO']
Best to let the HTML parser do it. Gimme 10 minutes or so and I'll reply
when I've JellyUnit tested this feature...
