Re: [xsl] Creating nested output from <xsl:if>'s

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxx>]

Hi,

You can do something like below:

<xsl:if test="@pitch='x-high'">
    <xsl:text>&lt;PITCH BASE="70%"&gt;</xsl:text>
    <xsl:if test="@rate='slow'">
        <xsl:text>&lt;RATE SPEED="-40%"&gt;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:apply-templates/>
        <xsl:text>&lt;/RATE&gt;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
    <xsl:text>&lt;/PITCH&gt;</xsl:text>
</xsl:if>

Best Regards,
George
