Subject: [xsl] Setting a global variable, or using a variable in place of provided XML From: dorian dorian <dorian37076@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 24 Apr 2002 22:13:13 -0700 (PDT) |
I'm new to xsl and have run into a problem which I'm unable to solve on my own. I've been through the faq and the list archives, but my general inexperience with xsl prevents me from determining if one of the faq answers can help me. Here's my situation - In my XML, I'm provided font sizing information as a string, rather than a number, e.g. 'small', 'medium', 'large', etc. For example, <xsl:value-of select="//template/bodyfont/@size" /> Will contain either 'small', 'medium', 'large', etc. For specific reasons, I need to declare my font sizes as numbers, via <font size="1"> to maintain consistency across the document. I'd like to do something similar to - <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="//template/bodyfont/@size = 'small'"> <xsl:variable name="bodyfontsize" select="'2'"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:variable name="bodyfontsize" select="'4'"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> And later declare font sizes via <font size={$bodyfontsize}> . Unfortunately, $bodyfontsize does not appear to persist beyond the closing xsl:choose. My XSL parser (sablotron) reports that the variable does not exist. (I've tested this by placing an <xsl:value-of select="$bodyfontsize" /> after the closing xsl:choose above.) I've tried a few different approaches, but none seem to work as well as I believe xsl would allow. Can anyone point me in the right direction, or offer a suggestion? I'm generally self-reliant, but in this case, I don't know enough about xsl to begin to know where to look. Any and all suggestions are appreciated. -d __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
