lower case

hello

I want in xsl to translate a return to be in lower case
where $tech_id could be lower case, or upper case. is it possible?
is there a function in xsl that does it?

<xsl:attribute name="key">
<xsl:value-of select= "concat('this-', $tech_id, '-entity')"/>
</xsl:attribute>

If you are only using ASCII characters then use the translate function:

Code:

<xsl:variable name="UPPER" select="'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'"/>
<xsl:variable name="lower" select="'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'"/>
<xsl:attribute name="key">
    <xsl:value-of select= "concat('this-', translate($tech_id, $UPPER, $lower), '-entity')"/>
</xsl:attribute>

If you just want to translate the vale of $tech_id to lower case use the translate function:

<xsl:variable name="lcase">abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz</xsl:variable>
<xsl:variable name="ucase">ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ</xsl:variable>

<xsl:attribute name="key">
<xsl:value-of select= "concat('this-', translate($tech_id, $ucase, $lcase), '-entity')"/>
</xsl:attribute>
