How about:
<xsl:template match="item1[$i = '1']">...
<xsl:template match="item2[$i = '2']">...
Would that work?

I would like to be able to invoke templates based on the value of a
variable.
I've done some Internet searching, but haven't seen what I'm looking
for, so
I don't know whether it's possible or not. My various attempts have
failed.
My data has the structure:
<data>
<item1>
...
</item1>
<item2>
....
</item2>
</data>
I want to process the nodes <item1/> or <item2/>, but not both,
depending on
a variable derived from some other processing. The outline of the XSL
processing
that I'd like to do is:
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:template match="data">
<xsl:variable name="i">2</xsl:variable>
<!-- $item will have a value of either "item1" or "item2" -->
<xsl:variable name="item">item<xsl:value-of select="$i"/></
xsl:variable>
<!-- Want to invoke template for either item1 or item2, but
not both. -->
<!-- Would like to avoid using a 'choose' statement. -->
<!-- This does not work, but is conceptually what I'm
thinking. -->
<xsl:apply-templates select="$item" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item1">
...
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="item2">
...
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
I could use a <choose/> statement to do the selection based on the
$item variable,
but I'm wondering whether there is a more "elegant" way, or whether
the <choose/>
is the way to go even though the code is longer and "bulkier".
Thanks for suggestions.
