Hello all,

I created an xhtml-like schema and made 2 xsl files to translate the
respected xml file into html or pdf.

Anyway, I was wondering if the code similar to code below can be
reduced somehow by grouping it together in the 1 XSL file.

html xsl file...

<xsl:template match="h3">
<h3>

<!-- set default margin if not set -->
<xsl:variable name="marginVal">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@margin">margin:<xsl:value-of select="@margin"/>;</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
	<xsl:choose>		
		<xsl:when test="@margin-top |@margin-right |@margin-bottom| @margin-left">
			<xsl:if test="@margin-top">margin-top:<xsl:value-of
select="@margin-top"/>;</xsl:if>
			<xsl:if test="@margin-right">margin-right:<xsl:value-of
select="@margin-right"/>;</xsl:if>
			<xsl:if test="@margin-bottom">margin-bottom:<xsl:value-of
select="@margin-bottom"/>;</xsl:if>
			<xsl:if test="@margin-left">margin-left:<xsl:value-of
select="@margin-left"/>;</xsl:if>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>margin:5px 0px 0px 0px;</xsl:otherwise>	
	</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>	
</xsl:choose>

</xsl:variable>

Same template as above basically is repeated for match="h1" to "h6", but code starts getting a bit bulky.

plus the FO xsl file too can be shrinked using same principle someone
here can recommend :).

Thanks in advance,
