Working with xsl:choose in XSLT - More conditions within xsl:when

(Page 6 of 6 )

It is recommended to use XML entity references within conditions, for better compatibility and bug-free compilation. In the following example, I am trying to have more than one condition within “xsl:when” and using entity references as conditional operators:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"

    xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:template match="/">

      <table border="1">

      <xsl:apply-templates select="SQLData/Rows" />

      </table>

</xsl:template>  

     

<xsl:template match="SQLData/Rows">

      <tr>

            <td>

                  <xsl:value-of select="Empno"/>

            </td>

            <td>

                  <xsl:value-of select="Ename"/>

            </td>

            <xsl:apply-templates select="Sal" />

            <td>

                  <xsl:value-of select="Deptno"/>

            </td>

      </tr>

</xsl:template>

     

<xsl:template match="Sal">

      <xsl:choose>

            <xsl:when test="text() &gt; '3000' and text() &lt; '4000'">

                  <td style="color: red">

                        <xsl:value-of select="."/>

                  </td>

            </xsl:when>

            <xsl:otherwise>

                  <td>

                        <xsl:value-of select="."/>

                  </td>

            </xsl:otherwise>

      </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Within the above code “&gt;” stands for “>” and “&lt;” stands for “<”.  Sometimes, you may also have to use “&quot;” instead of a single quote!  So, keep in mind that XML entity references play major role in XSLT.
