RE: [xsl] [XSL]Display Different Results Based on Count of Node Sets

A better solution is to use two different template rules for the two cases:

<xsl:template match="book[count(title) &lt; 2]">

</xsl:template> 

<xsl:template match="book[count(title) >= 2]">

</xsl:template>

However, I'm not clear from your description exactly what you want the two
different cases to output. Your XML structure seems a bit odd - can one book
really have two titles?

Subject: [xsl] [XSL]Display Different Results Based on Count 
of Node Sets

Hi,

   Below are two templates I am using to display some titles 
of the book. I am wondering if anybody knows whether or not I 
can use the count function here so that  for books with 
multiple books by one author, the titles would be broken off 
with the <p> tag, but those with only one, would not display 
the <p> tag. Anyone know if I should use <xsl:if> or the 
count function here?

Here is the XSLT:

    <xsl:template match="book">
        <p>
            <xsl:call-template name="author"/>
            <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </p>
    </xsl:template>

     <xsl:template match="title">
        <p>
                        <xsl:apply-templates/>
        </p>
    </xsl:template>

The XML:

    <book>
     <author>Tennison, Jeni</author>
    <title>Beginning XSLT</title>
    <title>Beginning XSLT 2.0</title>
    </book>

    <book>
    <author>Meyer, Eric</author>
    <title>The Zen of CSS</title>
    </book>

Thanks to those who may be able to help.

Alice
