Re: Testing the number of child elements

hmm mathml, what are you mapping it to?

We hope to have some xsl examples in the next mathml working draft....


>  I want to test if the current node (plus) has one
> child or more 

that is <xsl:if test="child::*">  ... as an empty node list counts as
false and that node list will be non emty if there are any children.


<xsl:template match="apply[plus]">

this matches an apply that has a plus child anywhere (strictly speaking
you probably want to limit to plus as the first child)

that is a hex number so you need &#x not &# also, beware that is a
tempoarary assignment into the private use area, and will change if
unicode/iso allocate a block of unicode for math characters (next month
with a bit of luck)
