Slugify an Acronym List with XSLT

Have a requirement to create slugs from XML content.

I was navigating to create Slugs from Titles and found the below ones listed.

• Creating Slugs from Titles?
• Java code/library for generating slugs (for use in pretty URLs)
• and similar others.

I was looking for perfect solution for an XSL solution, which provides better slugifies like a PHP solution: http://blog.tersmitten.nl/slugify and also takes care开发者_高级运维 of duplicates in the file system.

Input XML

<table>
    <tr>
        <td>2D</td>
        <td>Two Dimension</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>A/C</td>
        <td>Account</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>A/C</td>
        <td>Air Condition</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>L&T</td>
        <td>Larsen & Toubro</td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
        <td>M + [ # ]</td>
        <td>Modified Algo</td>
    </tr>
</table>

Expected Output

file: 2d.txt
------------
2D
Two Dimension

file: a-c.txt
-------------
A/C
Account

file: a-c-2.txt
---------------
A/C
Air Condition

file: l-t.txt
-------------
L&T
Larsen & Turbo

file: m.txt (NOT m-.txt)
-------------
M + [ # ]
Modified Algo

Tried XSL

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<xsl:stylesheet extension-element-prefixes="redirect" version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:redirect="http://xml.apache.org/xalan/redirect">

    <xsl:output method="text" version="1.0" />

    <xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:for-each select="table/tr">
            <!-- The logic for variable value requires attention!! -->
            <xsl:variable name="acronym" select="translate(td[1], 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ', 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')" />
            <xsl:variable name="tmpFilename" select="concat('C:/Temp/', $acronym, '.txt')" />

            <xsl:variable name="filename">
                <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="document($tmpFilename)">
                        <!-- Require logic to handle duplicate file existence. -->
                    </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:otherwise>
                        <xsl:value-of select="$filename" />
                    </xsl:otherwise>
                </xsl:choose>
            </xsl:variable>

            <redirect:write select="$filename">
                <xsl:value-of select="td[1]" />
                <xsl:text>&#10;</xsl:text>
                <xsl:value-of select="td[2]" />
            </redirect:write>
        </xsl:for-each>
    </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Note: The file name should include only the OS supported characters. The rest should be converted to '-'. Also, there shouldn't be leading and trailing '-' characters (e.g. the last output file as mentioned above).

If you're looking for a Java based solution, I have an online generator which you can use. If you look in the Javascript, you'll find the POST request that you need to make - just don't hammer it please ;)
