Re: [xsl] when does <xsl:when> stop searching?

But what about the 'break' keyword?

xsl does not have that, so does it stop automatically after the first
match of <xsl:when>?

I mean, what if there are several conditions, sort of like several elseif()

Only first in document order  <xsl:when> whose @test attribute
evaluates to true is selected for processing. If there isn't such,
then the <xsl:otherwise> (if specified) is selected for processing.

BTW, why don't you read a good book on XSLT? This would save a lot of
time, at least for the very basic questions like the ones you have
submitted in the last day or so.
