Hello Richard,
I would like to select all nodes from a particular set of
elements that
matches one of several values. Is there a simpler way of
doing it then
what is below?
<xsl:template match="client/race[text()='white'] |
client/race[text()='black'] |
client/race[text()='asian'] |
client/race[text()='hispanic'] |
agencies/race_served[text=()='white'] |
agencies/race_served[text=()='black'] |
agencies/race_served[text=()='asian'] |
agencies/race_served[text=()='hispanic']
">
I would like to define all of the string literals (white,black,etc) in
one place (a variable?) then just specify the paths I want to
match
you could make a variable that concatenates all the different
values you'd like to test for and use contains() to do the
test.
ie
<xsl:variable name="raceList">
<xsl:text>white|black|asian|hispanic</text>
</xsl:variable>
and
<xsl:template match="client/race[contains($raceList,.)]
|
agencies/race_served[contains($raceList,.)]">
