My bad on that one. Typing too fast and thinking of my own problem at the 
time.

Sorry, Josh

RE: [xsl] xsl formating string






Your problem is:

<xsl:when test="../format_control='C1'"/>
                                       ^
                                       |

that the xsl:when is an empty element. The fo:block is therefore a direct
child of xsl:choose, which is not allowed.
