xsl check existence of attribute
I'm hoping there's a more elegant way to do it using a one-line apply-templates or call-templates instead of three or more if statement lines. I've been pretty successful in getting most of the conditional code out of my templates. This is one of the areas I haven't spent much time trying to figured out yet...

Just test for @indent

e.g.:

<xsl:if test="@indent ">
  <!-- do something -->
</xsl:if>


Translated in English the above means: "if the current node has an attribute
named 'indent' do something".


The test does not depend on whether the current node is named "Text",
because you said this is already a known fact.


In case you want to check that both the current node is named "Text" and it
has an attribute named "indent", the XPath expression that returns the truth
value of this fact is:


self::Text and @indent
