Use the <xsl:if> syntax in your templates

<xsl:if test="@ignore[.='false']">
	display the contents
</xsl:if>

or if you are really worried about only hiding the "true" ones:

<xsl:choose>
	<xsl:when test="@ignore[.='true']">
		do nothing
	</xsl:when>
	<xsl:otherwise>
		display the contents
	</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>

Subject: Test an attribut in all document


Hi everybody !

I would like to ignore section with attribut Ignore="True".

XML Document
------------
<presentation ignore="false">
 <title>Presentation</title>
 <longname ignore="true"><content>DONT DISPLAY 1</content></longname>
 <presentation>
  <longname ignore="false"><content>DISPLAY 1</content></longname>
  <presentation>
   <longname ignore="true"><content>DONT DISPLAY 2</content></longname>
  </presentation>
 </presentation>
</presentation>

XSL StyleSheet
--------------
<xsl:template match="presentation/longname">
 display longname with bold
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="presentation/presentation/longname">
 display longname with italic
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="presentation/presentation/presentation/longname">
 display longname with underline
</xsl:template>

I don't want to put a test of the attribute in all my template (example
"presentation/presentation/presentation/longname[@ignore='false']").
Is there a statement making it possible to not display the sections with
attribut "ignore=true"
anywhere in the XML document.
I try this statement :
<xsl:template match="*[@ignore='true']">
</xsl:template>
but is good only for the first level.
Thanks !!!
