Info About XSL Processor in Frame 7.2?

[Alan Houser]

To the best of my knowledge, FrameMaker's XSL processor is Xalan-C 
(http://xml.apache.org/xalan-c/). It looks like "replace" is a Saxon 
extension function.

I usually do something like the following to get the result you want 
without using extension functions:
<xsl:variable name="basename" select="substring-before($graphic_name,'.')"/>
<xsl:variable name="target" select="concat($basename, '.tif')"/>

Unfortunately, this approach fails if the pathname/filename contains 
more than one "dot" character. I believe a recursive algorithm is 
necessary if you want to identify the right-most occurrence of a 
particular character.
