Is there a way I can condition a variable on the presence (or absence)
of another variable?
I have a crucial global variable in my stylesheets which goes through a
document a collects all the citation references. This works well when
I have self-contained documents. However, in the case of the
manuscript I just finished, I needed to first include the individual
chapters into a variable, and then run the stylesheets on that.
To get it to work thus required adding the $chapters variable to the
path.
<xsl:variable name="citerefs"
select="($chapters)//db:biblioref/@linkend"/>
If I then run the stylesheets on a standalone document that doesn't
include this variable, it fails.
So I'm wanting to do something like this:
<xsl:variable name="root-node" select="if ($chapters) then
($chapters) else ()"/>
<xsl:variable name="citerefs"
select="($root-node)//db:biblioref/@linkend"/>
... but get an error about the missing $chapters.
Any suggestions?
