[oXygen-user] Failure to identify missing xsl:choose element

Tue Apr 17 14:21:53 CDT 2012

John:

The parser is giving you the correct error.  An <xsl:when> must be inside
an <xsl:choose>.  If you only have one choice then you will want to use
<xsl:if>.

You can use <xsl:choose> with the following structure:

<xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test="...">...</xsl:when>
    <xsl:otherwise/>
</xsl:choose>

Good luck!

Betty
