Re: [xsl] Re: Identifying Existence of Attributes

[Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

If you simply put your code for the @indent attribute (when it exists) in a 
separate template, a simple apply-templates will work:

<xsl:template match="Text">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="@indent"/>
  your stuff for Text here
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="@indent">
  do your indent thing here
</xsl:template>

If the @indent attribute doesn't exist, no templates will be applied to it.

Similarly, xsl:copy-of select="@indent" will fail to copy an indent 
attribute that doesn't exist.

Cheers,
Wendell
