Re:  How to detect if the context item exists
Hi Stefan,

Is this version 2.0+? Have you tried the empty(.) function?

Cheers,
Hank

Hello,

I need to detect inside a named template if the context item is defined,
but exists(.) and (. castable as xs:anyType) fail, because, you know,
the context item is not defined. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Stefan
