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

[George Cristian Bina <george@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Paul,

You can also do this with a chain of named templates, each performs one 
check and delegates to the next:

<xsl:template name="checkPitch">
    <xsl:if test="@pitch='x-high'">
        <xsl:text>&lt;PITCH BASE="70%"&gt;</xsl:text>
        <xsl:call-template name="checkRate"/>
        <xsl:text>&lt;/PITCH&gt;</xsl:text>
    </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="checkRate">
    <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:template>
<xsl:template match="//prosody">
    <xsl:call-template name="checkPitch"/>
</xsl:template>

Best Regards,
George
