XSTL stylesheet workarounds for exceptions
<xsl:template
match="ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbie:']|ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbies:']">
Now
the only question left is the second half ( ii ) of the original
post
included below:
(
ii ) I also like to add a default generic value for any missing
element.
Say if there are no
<p><strong>Hobbies:</strong></p> in such document, yet
I still would
like to generate a
null element
such as <hobbies>Unknown</hobbies>.
You need to do this at the next level up, where
you are applying-templates
to the p elements. Something
like
<xsl:variable name="hobbies"
select="ns:p[ns:strong='Hobbies:']"/>
<xsl:apply-templates
select="$hobbies"/>
<xsl:if test="empty($hobbies)">
...
default output goes here ...
</xsl:if>
