Hello Sascha,

I think it's another problem.

I want to check if a value ( $leftmargin ) is less than 0 -
check my example please.

"$wert" is ok, "$leftmargin" is ok too but the xsl:if does not work.:

<xsl:variable name="notesleftmargin"><xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::dxl:richtext//dxl:pardef[@id=$pabid]/@leftmargin"/></xsl:v
ariable>

(Here you create a Result Tree Fragment, which shows similar behaviour to a string, but must converted first. Use (like in the following variable declarations) <xsl:variable name="notesleftmargin" select="ancestor::dxl:richtext//dxl:pardef[@id=$pabid]/@leftmargin"/>.)


<xsl:variable name="wert" select="substring-before($notesleftmargin,'in')"/>
<xsl:variable name="leftmargin" select="$wert - 1"></xsl:variable>

<xsl:if test="number($leftmargin) &lt; 0"><xsl:variable name="leftmargin"
select="0"></xsl:variable></xsl:if>

With this construct the variable is only in scope in the <xsl:if>, but not outside of it. You have to change it to the following:


<xsl:variable name="correct-leftmargin">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="number($leftmargin) &lt; 0">0</xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise><xsl:value-of select="$leftmargin"/></xsl:otherwise>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

Furthermore you can not reassign a value to a variable. Therefore I changed the name of the second one.

<xsl:attribute name="margin-left"><xsl:value-of
select="concat($leftmargin,'in')"/></xsl:attribute>

but this does not work.
why?
