oxy_ string functions don’t seem to work in CSS header specifications

[Vinny]

Folks,
In my document, I would like to have a header reproducing only a part of the ‘sectiontitle’, so instead of writing, say:

Code: Select all

@page :left {
...
	@top-left {
		color: blue;
		content: string(sectiontitle);
		}
}

I would like something like this:

Code: Select all

@page :left {
...
	@top-left {
		color: blue;
		content: oxy_replace(string(sectiontitle), *some_pattern*, *replacement_string*, true);
		}
}

However, this doesn’t work for any pattern other than those matching a void string, and it seems the string(sectiontitle) expression is actually void when the oxy_replace (or any other oxy_* function for that matter, such as oxy_substring) is called.
Is this intended, and is there a workaround?

Hello,

Is it not simpler to redefine 'sectiontitle' using the string-set property? The default definition is available in the user guide.
You can also define a custom string-set and use it instead of sectiontitle if you need to keep it in some cases and use another in other cases.

Regards,
Julien

Hello Julien,

thanks for your answer and apologies for this belated one. Was busy with other things. I’ll definitely try that and let you know.
