Hi everyone,

Hoping for a little help yet again :) I'd like my footers to display the
value of the <releaseinfo> element (in the example below, 3.2), but they
are empty in PDF output. I'm pretty sure that the variable that should hold
the version never gets populated, but I don't understand why.

(In the future, I'd like to have productname+releaseinfo, but I got stuck
before having to figure out concatenations.)

In my XML, I have this:
<book xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook"; version="5.0">
<info>
<title>CTU User Guide</title>
<releaseinfo>3.2</releaseinfo>
<productname>CTU></productname>
</info>
[...]
</book>

In my XSL, I have:
<xsl:variable name="Version">
<xsl:when test="//releaseinfo">
 <xsl:choose>
<xsl:text>CTU </xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="//releaseinfo"/>
 </xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
                  CTU 3.0
</xsl:otherwise>
 </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:choose>
 <xsl:when test="$sequence='blank'">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $position = 'left'">
 <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position = 'center'">
 <!-- nop -->
</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>
 <fo:page-number/>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
 </xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$pageclass='titlepage'">
 <!-- nop: other titlepage sequences have no footer -->
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'even' and
$position='left'">
 <fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'odd' and
$position='right'">
 <fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='right'">
 <fo:page-number/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'odd' and
$position='left'">
 <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided != 0 and $sequence = 'even' and
$position='right'">
 <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="$double.sided = 0 and $position='left'">
 <xsl:value-of select="$Version"/>
</xsl:when>

<xsl:otherwise>
 <!-- nop -->
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
 </xsl:template>
(This part is a bit messy, I think, but I inherited the customization layer
and I don't want to mess with it too much.)

If anyone can shed any light, it would help a ton - I'm very new to all
this and it gets confusing at times.

Thanks,
Jen
