Re: [xsl] using "and" / "or"

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Carlos,

"and" in XPath (XSL's expression language) is "and".

"or" is "or".

As in:
<xsl:when test="num_at_station='1' or num_at_station='2'"> ...

If you need an answer to this kind of question *quickly*, the best way to 
get it is to refer directly to the XPath and XSLT Recommendations (at 
www.w3.org). They are both reasonably short and clear (especially for 
technical specs). Your question can be answered in minutes if you happen to 
know where these documents are and what they cover. Best of all, they are 
absolutely authoritative (assuming you are using XSLT, which not everyone 
is who thinks they are).

Another readily available resource is the XSL FAQ maintained by Dave 
Pawson, which is linked from the XSL-List page whose URI appears at the end 
of every list message.

Cheers,
Wendell
