Basically, I want a template that will output the text of a node for an
arbitrary XPath if that node exists. If the node doesn't exist, I want
it to produce "--".
in xslt 2
<xsl:value-of select="(/path/to/single/node,'--')[1]"/>
in xslt 1
<xsl:variable name="n" select="/path/to/single/node"/>
<xsl:value-of select="$n"/>
<xsl:if test="not($n)">--</xsl:if>
you could do:
<xsl:variable name="dash">--</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value-of select="(/path/to/single/node|$dashes)[1]"/>
...as long as RTFs come after input nodes document order? (I think they do...)
