[daisy] making URL out of field

[Todd Wells]

I have it working now. The /@valueFormatted  was not needed on the
variable.

Thanks for your help.

Here is the end result.   This Document Styling takes a field with a
given label and turns it into a Link (first removing anything after / in
the field which is a port number on the device the URL points to)

  <xsl:template match="d:fields">
    <xsl:if test="d:field">
      <xsl:if test="d:field">
        <h2>Fields</h2>
        <table class="default">
          <tr>
            <th>Name</th>
            <th>Value</th>
          </tr>
          <xsl:for-each select="d:field">
            <xsl:variable name="isLinkType" select="@valueType =
'link'"/>
        --> <xsl:variable name="isPDU" select="@label='PDU Ports'"/>
             <tr>
              <td style="vertical-align: top"><xsl:value-of
select="@label"/>
                </td>
              <td>
                <xsl:for-each select="*">
                  <xsl:if test="position() > 1"><br/></xsl:if>
                  <xsl:choose>
                    <xsl:when test="$isLinkType">
                      <a href="{@target}">
                        <xsl:value-of select="@valueFormatted"/>
                      </a>
                    </xsl:when>
        -->         <xsl:when test="$isPDU">
        -->           <xsl:variable name="myPDU"
select="substring-before(@valueFormatted,'/')"/>
        -->           <a href="{concat('https://',$myPDU)} ">
        -->             <xsl:value-of select="@valueFormatted"/>
        -->           </a>
        -->         </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:otherwise>
                      <xsl:value-of select="@valueFormatted"/>
                    </xsl:otherwise>
                  </xsl:choose>
                </xsl:for-each>
              </td>
            </tr>
          </xsl:for-each>

Uh sorry, it should be 
href="{concat('http://example.com/',$myVAR1/@valueFormatted)}"

You probably should also wrap urlencode() around the last part
