Code nested choose/when/otherwise blocks to cover all the combinations that you want to catch. It isn't pretty but it will work. Copy/paste will get you there fast enough! <xsl:template match="text"> <p> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@bold='true'"> <b> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@italic='true'"> <i> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="@underline='true'"> <u> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </u> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </i> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> etc, etc.... </b> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </p> </xsl:template> There you are I've basically done it for you, just fill in the missing bits. I can't myself think of a better way. I think perhaps that sometimes xslt just is verbose and this may be one of them. The best I can suggest is that you could write the code inside a named template (look it up if you don't know) which takes an element as a parameter and then at least you won't have to write it again and you can use it on other elements besides a 'text' one. You could then xsl:include/import it from a library xslt to make it more reusable again. Ah just saw Jarno's. Much better. Take your pick.

I'm not sure, wheter I understand it right. Does it mean to write it eight times, once for each combinatoion of the atribute values, e.g. first for "all true", than <otherwise> one of them false and so on? Or is there some easier way? Could you please write some more detailed example? thanx Ales Peregrin ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rod Humphris - FLPTN" <rod.humphris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Tuesday, October 14, 2003 11:05 AM X-Scanned: By Symantec Anti-Virus Scan Engine Subject: Re: [xsl] need help with converting attribute into elements > Hi Ales > > I expect someone could suggest a prettier and more modular approach but > nested choose blocks would do it: > > <xsl:template match="text"> > <p> > <xsl:choose> > <xsl:when test="@bold='true'"> > <b> > <xsl:choose> > <xsl:when test="@italic='true'"> > <i> > etc, etc..... > </b> > </xsl:when> > <xsl:otherwise> > > </xsl:otherwise> > </xsl:choose> > </p> > </xsl:template> > > Cheers > > Rod > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Ale¹ Peregrin [mailto:ales.peregrin@xxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 14 October 2003 09:47 > To: XSL-List@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > X-Scanned: By Symantec Anti-Virus Scan Engine > Subject: RE: [xsl] need help with converting attribute into elements > > > Hi! > I'm trying to make a XSLT stylexheet for transforming XML document into HTML > and there is a problem I'm unable to solve, even after a week of trying and > searching all over the internet.
