Hello
As I am writing XSLT documents, i was in a some case in this situation :
In one case, i want to surround an element with another one, in another case i don't
example :
if (@LINKED=='true') {
<a href="....">
content
</a>
} else {
content
}I name this case "conditional surrounding"
where content is a multiline stuff
of course i see some of those saying i just have to call a template, but the content stuff use a lot of parameters so it is the same to copy/paste than to make a call.
So my questions are those
1) Can be handled simply in strict XSLT 1.0 ? 2) Can be handled simply with some extension of XSLT 1.0 ? 3) Can it be handled simply with last XSLT 2.0 WD ? 4) with XQuery ? 5) should I use XSP ? 6) Should I use direct programming langages ? 7) Should I change the structure of the XML input and how ?
etc.
Of course there is a awful way to do that with
and $name could be "a" or "span" for exemple
<xsl:variable name="name">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@LINKED=='true'">a</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>span</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable><xsl:element name="{$name}">
<xsl:if test="$name == a">
<xsl:attribute name="href" select="$href" />
</xsl:if>
content
</xsl:element>Cheers
