At 02:50 PM 11/13/2002, you wrote:<td> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="string-length() > 0"><xsl:value-of select="." /></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </td>
This gets monotonous after a while. It would be nice if <xsl:value-of> could take an attribute which would provide a default value if the select produces an empty result!
Make a template that does just that. <xsl:template name="monotonous"> <xsl:param name="str" select="." /> <xsl:value-of select="$str" /> <xsl:if test="string-length() = 0"> <xsl:text> </xsl:text> </xsl:if> </xsl:call-template>
and then you have
<td> <xsl:call-template name="monotonous" /> </td>
I don't think you need to explicitly pass the parameter because of the default value, but play with it to make sure. You may need to include the line
<xsl:with-param name="str" select="." />
but I hope not.
