panel (Help > Reference).
Apply multiple conditional XSLT regions
You can write a simple conditional expression to insert into your XSLT page. If content is selected when you open
the Conditional Region dialog box, the content is wrapped in an
block. If you do not select content,
the block is added at the insertion point on the page. It’s a good idea to use the dialog box to get
started and then customize the expression in Code view.
The element is similar to the case statement in other languages. The element provides a way for you
to test a condition and take a course of action based on the result. The element allows you to test for
multiple conditions.
1 Select Insert > XSLT Objects > Multiple Conditional Region or click the Multiple Conditional Region icon in the
XLST category of the Insert bar.
2 In the Multiple Conditional Region dialog box, enter the first condition.
In the following example, you want to test to see if the context node’s price subelement is less than 5.
3 Click OK.
In the example, the following code is inserted in your XSLT page:
Content goes here
Content goes here
4 To insert another condition, place the insertion point in Code view between tag pairs or just before
the tag, and then insert a conditional region (Insert > XSLT Objects > Conditional Region).
After you specify the condition and click OK, another tag is inserted in the block.
For more information and examples on writing conditional expressions, see the sections in the
Reference panel (Help > Reference).
Set conditional region (If) properties
The purpose of the Set Conditional Region Property inspector is to change the condition used in a conditional region
in your XSL page. The conditional region tests the condition and takes a course of action based on the result.
❖ In the Test box, enter a new condition, and then press Enter.
