public class LangFunction extends Object implements Function
4.3 boolean lang(string)
The lang function returns true or false depending on whether the language of the context node as specified by
xml:lang
attributes is the same as or is a sublanguage of the language specified by the argument string. The language of the context node is determined by the value of thexml:lang
attribute on the context node, or, if the context node has noxml:lang
attribute, by the value of thexml:lang
attribute on the nearest ancestor of the context node that has anxml:lang
attribute. If there is no such attribute, then lang returns false. If there is such an attribute, then lang returns true if the attribute value is equal to the argument ignoring case, or if there is some suffix starting with-
such that the attribute value is equal to the argument ignoring that suffix of the attribute value and ignoring case. For example,lang("en")
would return true if the context node is any of these five elements:<para xml:lang="en"/> <div xml:lang="en"><para/></div> <para xml:lang="EN"/> <para xml:lang="en-us"/>
