 RE: fn:contains multiple strings to compare with
You could use a trick. Sequences returned from a sequence expression are
always flattened and concatenated. So:

for $city in ('Hamburg', 'Coblenz', 'Aachen') return (if
(contains('Hamburger', $city)) then true() else ())

...returns true(), because the empty sequences are simply discarded. OTOH,

for $city in ('Hamburg', 'Coblenz', 'Aachen') return (if
(contains('Frankfurter', $city)) then true() else ())

...is treated as false, as you'll see:

boolean(for $city in ('Hamburg', 'Coblenz', 'Aachen') return (if
(contains('Frankfurter', $city)) then true() else ()))

Hi,

I4m using XSLT 2.0 and Saxon 8.

Basicly i want to have something that does this:
contains('$d/ris:organ/text()', 'Hamburg' or 'Koblenz' or 'xxx'...) ===>
Compare 1 String with multpile strings.

instead of that: contains('$d/ris:organ/text()','Hamburg') or
contains('$d/ris:organ/text()','Koblenz')...
