RE: [xsl] A beef with XSLT Sometimes too complicated

Hi Karl,

I am personally fond of using lookup tables. It does not result in a one
liner, but might make things clearer. Besides, you can put these lookup
tables in separate documents as xml config files..

<xsl:variable name="lookup-data">
  <item id="">background_bright</item>
  <item id="*">background_faded</item>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="lookup-ref"
select="document('')/xsl:stylesheet/xsl:variable[(_at_)name =
'lookup-data']/item" />

<xsl:variable name="bg_img" select="($lookup-ref[(_at_)id =
normalize-space($all_vars)] | $lookup-ref[(_at_)id = '*'])[1]" />

Kind regards,
Geert

Classic example, setting a variable:

<xsl:variable name="bg_img">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="normalize-space($all_vars)=''">
<xsl:text>background_bright</xsl:text>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:text>background_faded</xsl:text>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

Is there a cleaner / simpler way to do this?  Any chance you 
can do this in one line?
