You can fill the blanks with the <xsl:value-of> to assign a value to the
variable or <xsl:sequence> to assign a result of a XPath expression to
the variable.

Subject: [xsl] Problem with conditional definition of a variable
Depending on whether or not a parameter is passed to the stylesheet, I'd
like to define a variable differently.
I have defined two parameters in the stylesheet to be passed from a
command line:
"spiral" has a default value.
"phase" is defined without a default value.
This unconditional definition works as expected:
<xsl:variable name="s1-reqs" select="document('X:/Project
documents/matrix-xml/spiral-phase-update-template.xml')/requirements/req
uirement[(_at_)spiral=$spiral]" />
I think I ought to be able to declare the variable with a construct like
this:
<xsl:variable name="s1-reqs">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$phase=''">
<!-- Something goes here when no "phase" parameter is passed -->
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<!-- Something goes here if a "phase" parameter is passed -->
</xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>
but I must have the wrong idea because I can't find a way to fill in the
blanks. If someone sees where I'm going astray, please clear this up for
me.
Thanks.
