XSLT: conditional with "or"

[Veronica Damian]

hi,

can you do conditionals with "or" in XSLT? (equiv. of "||" in a java conditional...)

I don't think <xsl:choose> would accomplish same goal, as I don't want to have to repeat content in XSLT..

I want to say IF a certain param in custom-tag equals this or that or that other THEN put this content here..

thank you very much..

Yes, you can. And if you were trying to ask how, well, the XSLT "or" operator is "or".

I believe Veronica Damian is asking how to match 2 different elements by using the same template.

I think the or operator is "|".

The same code for identity template:

 
  <xsl:template match="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()">
    <xsl:copy>
      <xsl:apply-templates select="*|@*|comment()|processing-instruction()|text()"/>
    </xsl:copy>
  </xsl:template>

thank you very much.. that's what I thought (since for 'and' it's 'and'..;)
but it's being ignored..
ok, thanks again..

That would be because you are expecting it to do something different than what you really told it to do. If you are still having a problem and would like help with it, don't hesitate to post the details here.
