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

It would be easier to answer your question if you provided a sample of the desired result document - in XML. (You have provided XML of the input and your XSLT, but only a narrative description of your intended output.)

Hi,

Sorry for the confusion. This should be what I am trying to do (The list is supposed to be based on the name of the auhor and their books, and not based on the dimensions of the book titles:

The XML:

    <book>

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

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

</book>


The XSLT:

 <xsl:template match="author">

  <xsl:variable name="value">
               <xsl:number count="title"/>
           </xsl:variable>
                      <xsl:choose>
               <xsl:when test="$value ='1'">
                   <xsl:value-of select="."/>
               </xsl:when>
               <xsl:otherwise>
                <p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
               </xsl:otherwise>
           </xsl:choose>
       </xsl:template>

The new segment of the XSLT I generated above does not seem to be generating the proper output. All of my titles still follow the rules under the <xsl:otherwise> rule.

Thanks to anyone of those who may be able to help.

Alice
