Re: how to match true and false and display yes and no

Well, if you actually tried to run these templates, your XML parser should 
spit out error messages.

You seem to be trying to use </xsl:apply-templates> to close 
<xsl:template>, which isn't XML.

Assuming you mean

<xsl:template match="members">
xsl-fo goes here.....
</xsl:template>

then you want

<xsl:template match="members">
xsl-fo goes here.....
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

Otherwise, the processor gets to members and stops, never processing the 
children of members.

 how to match true and false and display yes and no instead?






Hi experts,

It seems to be a pretty simple question, but I'm newbie and I cannot
figure out how to do it :-(
please help me!

here is some sample xml showing my problem:

<members>
                 <profile>
                                 <name>Bill Clinton</name>
                                 <married>false</married>
                                 <kid>joe</kid>
                 </profile>
</members>


my xsl looks something like this:

<xsl:template match="members">
xsl-fo goes here.....
</xsl:apply-templates>

<xsl:template match="members/profile/married">
<xsl:if test=".='false'">no, he is not married</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test=".='true'">yes, he is married</xsl:if>
</xsl:apply-templates>

<xsl:template match="kid">
xsl-fo goes here.....
<xsl:apply-templates select="../married"></xsl:apply-templates>

I simply want to display "yes" and "no" instead of "true" and "false".
So I have made a template match which specifically matches the element
which holds the true or false value. After matching this element, I
test whether its true or false, and returns the text instead.

nothing shows up :-(

Thanx in advance for you help
