Re: Set variable via contents of <variable> element

As I understand it, I can set the value of a variable in two ways:
1. By the "select" attribute of the <variable> element:
<xsl:variable name="myvariable" select="'myvalue'"/>

2. By the contents of the <variable> element:
<xsl:variable name="myvariable">
  My value
</xsl:variable>

The reason I need to do this is because I want to set the variable 'usethis'
to the result of a <choose> element which (as far as I know) I cannot
include in a "select" attribute. Also in my real example 'this' is a
parameter.

With 2.0, are you aware of the XPath 2.0
  if (condition) then expression1 else expression2
conditional expression that might help to use
  <xsl:variable name="myvariable"
                select="if (someCondition) then foo else bar"/>
to use the select attribute.
