Hi there,

I have a couple of (if ...)s in a DSSSL script to trigger different
styles for different values of an attribute, looks like this:

(element paragraph
        (if (equal? (attribute-string "FKT") "P")
          (make element gi: "P")
          (if (equal? (attribute-string "FKT") "H1")
            (make element gi: "H1" attributes: *heading-style*)
            (if (equal? (attribute-string "FKT") "H2")
              (make element gi: "H2" attributes: *heading-style*)
              (if (equal? (attribute-string "FKT") "H3")
		[...]

Of course, this code is a pain in the neck and the only reason for
not using "case" is that I wasn't able to figure out what the correct
syntax for "case" is. So, can someone provide me with a rough blueprint
of the above code in "case"-style?

Thanks in advance, greetings,
	Georg
