Re: Insert character for missing nodes

With XSLT 1.0 you might be better off to write one stylesheet that adds empty elements as needed, then run your current stylesheet.

<xsl:template match="business">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="name"/>
  <xsl:text> | </xsl:text>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="address"/>
  <xsl:text> | </xsl:text>
  <xsl:apply-templates select="url"/>
  <xsl:text>&#xA;</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell
