Hi Richard,
I'm sure I'm doing something really stupid, but I cant figure out
for the life of me why the following template always outputs and
empty element.
Yeah, you're doing something really stupid -- you've just missed some
quotes :) You're doing:
<xsl:value-of select='positive'/>
when you mean to do:
<xsl:value-of select="'positive'"/>
though personally, I'd just use literal text rather than an
<xsl:value-of> instruction:
<xsl:template match="medical_assessment/tb_test_positive |
medical_assessment/hiv_test_positive">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test=". = 'true' or . = '1'">positive</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test=". = 'false' or . = '0'">negative</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>otherwise</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
Cheers,
Jeni
