Re: [xsl] handling of xsl-Variable in formatting text

["Dirk Naujoks naujoks@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <xsl-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for your quick reply.

the problem with the source and the working document is that I am not to 
familiar with XSL and so I imagine I am not able to create such a 
document and the xml-source of the data contains personal data.

So maybe I try to explain the task i have to solve.

I want to format a block-objekt depending on a condition either 'bold' 
or 'normal'

My try was using the following code

<fo:block span="none" font-family="OfficinaSansLT" font-size="{$schrifta}" font-weight="{$outline}" text-align="start">

The variable "schrifta" can be set either to 20pt or what other value 
you like to and it is evaluated.

The variable "outline" i set according to my first post doesnt seem to 
be evaluated in this above code the text is allways "normal"

But if i use the code

 <xsl:value-of disable-output-escaping="no" select="$outline" />

I get the right output either "bold" or "normal".

So I am a little mixed up. But I hope this description is clear enough 
to see what my problem is.

(because I am no nativ english-speaker it may be a little hard to find 
out what I mean)


Thanks for your Answers.

As it is, we can only stare at the code - you haven't even told us what the failure symptoms are ("it doesn't work" isn't very helpful...)
