I am trying to write a test expression for a when clause that will be true
when the context node has a child 'restriction' element whose 'base'
attribute is "string" -- i.e. <restriction base="string">. I think this
clause should simply be:
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./restriction[@base='string']">
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
But it doesn't seem to work -- it doesn't match. What is wrong with this?
Here is the context node:
<simpleType name="MedlarsNameString">
</annotation>
<restriction base="string">
</restriction>
</simpleType>
And here is the stylesheet fragment (slightly edited -- yes, the second
choose block is meant to be nested in an otherwise block.):
<xsl:template match="xsd:simpleType">
<xsl:param name="elementName"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@name='TextBlock'">
Do this....
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="./restriction[@base='string']">
Print here.
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
