I've got an XQuery creating an XML file. This file has a root tag which has 2 child tags which in their order have several children which are the same for both.

What I basicly want is:

<root>
{if condition = x
then
<child1>
else
<child2>}
.....
{if condition = x
then
</child1>
else
</child2>}
</root>

But this doesn't work because the element are treated like a string so the output would be <child1>.

So I thought I would put the XQuery children creation in a varibale so I could do

{if condition = x
then
element{("child1")}{$content}
else
element{("child2")}{$content}
}

But the creation of those children is quit a bit of xquery, can I put that in a variable. Can someone give me a push in the right direction?

Your first example works just fine and generates markup
Hope this helps
Ivan

==================
query

<root>
{
if (true()) then
<child1>a</child1>
else
<child2>b</child2>
}
</root>

==================
result

<root>
<child1>a</child1>
</root>

I got the output as <child1&gt

The second option worked best for me, it was just a bit of tweaking to get the whole xquery in a variable to put into the second option.

Which version of Stylus Studio are you running?
Which XQuery processor?

Could you post a screenshot of Stylus Studio with the sample I posted with the XQuery editor and the preview window in focus after running the query?

Thanks for your help
Ivan
