Ejen Reference Guide : choose Node

	`<choose>`

Description

Choose node is similar to the <xsl:choose> instruction. It may have any number of when nodes and one optional and ending otherwise node.

...
<foreach select="compilation-unit">
  <choose>
    <when test="@language='Java'">
      <template save="{@name}.java" uri="java.xsl"/>
    </when>
    <when test="@language='C' or @language='C++'">
      <template save="{@name}.c" uri="c.xsl"/>
    </when>
    <otherwise>
      <template save="{@name}.txt" uri="other.xsl"/>
    </otherwise>
  </choose>
</foreach>
...

Using this choose block with a couple of when nodes and one otherwise node, we can apply different XSL templates to specific XML contents.

Children
