Assuming that you intend to test to see if there are any nodes included in
$condition:

test='$condition'

or

test='count($condition)>0'

How in the world ;-) can i use a variable in <xsl:if  test=..>

<xsl:variable name="condition" select="*[.//author='C. J. Date']"/>

  <xsl:template match="node()[name()=$entity]">
 <xsl:if test="boolean(string($condition))">
   <xsl:copy-of select="*"/>
 </xsl:if>
  </xsl:template>

This does not work neigther with
{$condition}
nor
anything else.
