Re: [docbook-apps] Aligning numbers in table cells with xsl

I managed to (almost) fix the problem by adding a test for NaN to
    the string variable:

    

    <xsl:if test="(ancestor-or-self::d:table/@tabstyle = 'numbers' or
    

          ancestor-or-self::d:table/@tabstyle = 'numberstripe') and
    not(ancestor::d:thead or

          ancestor::d:tfoot) and preceding-sibling::d:entry and
    (string(number(.) != 'NaN'))">

    

    This however will not select any cells that have a number and
    a non-numeric string (such as greater than or less than signs:
    <1, or >20) - my test treats those cells as a string and not
    as a number. I now need to find how to convert &lt; and &gt;
    to a number so that the test selects cells with a number and a lt or
    gt sign.
