Hi all,

I want to write a Schematron rule which checks whether a keyref'ed element contains a blank character.

WRONG:   <ph keyref="mykey"> </ph>

CORRECT: <ph keyref="mykey"></ph>

I adapted another rule and tried the following, but it does not work as expected.
In addition, it should apply to any keyref'ed element, not only to <ph>.

  <sch:pattern id="Check_blanks" xmlns:sch="http://purl.oclc.org/dsdl/schematron">
    <sch:rule context="*[contains(@class, 'ph')][@keyref]">
      <sch:assert test="not(contains(text(), ' '))">No blank allowed inside keyref'ed ph elements</sch:assert>
    </sch:rule>
  </sch:pattern>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Frank
