I don't think (but would be happy to be proven wrong) that this can be
implemented in XSLT 1.0 without xsl:choose or xsl:if. However, in XSLT
2.0 you can do this (other solutions possible):
<xsl:template name="calculator">
<xsl:variable name="operator-node">
<operator><xsl:value-of select="$operator" /></operator>
</xsl:variable>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$operator-node/operator" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="operator[text() = '*']">
<xsl:value-of select="$left * $right" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="operator[text() = '+']">
<xsl:value-of select="$left + $right" />
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="operator">
<xsl:text>Oops! Wrong operator!</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
I am glad that you will be happy: :)
Do you see any <xsl:choose> or <xsl:if> in the code below?
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="text"/>
<xsl:param name="left" select="3"/>
<xsl:param name="right" select="2"/>
<xsl:param name="operator" select="'*'" />
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="calculator2"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="calculator2">
<xsl:apply-templates select="self::node()[$operator = '*']" mode="mult"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="self::node()[$operator = '+']" mode="add"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select=
"self::node()[not($operator = '+') and not($operator = '*') ]"
mode="error"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/" mode="add">
<xsl:value-of select="$left + $right"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/" mode="mult">
<xsl:value-of select="$left * $right"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="/" mode="error">Oops! Wrong operator!</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
When this transformation is applied on any XML document, the wanted,
correct result is produced:
