Re: Variables


Mengel Andre (FV/SLM) *

the variable concept is complex in xslt, which can refer to a string ,a number or a tree fragment.<xsl:variable name="n">2</xsl:variable>  will assign a tree fragment to the variable "n". The tree has a specified text node child with "2" as value.
in a word,here "n" reprensents a tree not a number.
