Subject: Re: [xsl] Can I use a boolean variable in an xsl:if test From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 8 Feb 2005 21:35:50 GMT |
> I find that I stay out of hot water with xsl:value-of if I just remember > that it returns a string. beware though that that will get you burned again when you start using XSLT2 scented water. xsl:value-of returns a text node with string value the string value of the expression. This is subtly or not so subtly different from a string. It doesn't make so much difference in XSLT1 as the only way to carry strings around is to put them in text nodes, but in xpath2 you can have sequences of strings and sequences of text nodes (and sequences that contain both strings and text nodes) the rules for the two cases (and in particular whether spaces are automatically inserted between adjacent items) are different on the two cases.
