Is there a clever way to simplify the following stylesheet in order to avoid repeating a whole when
block when only one variable is changing between each of those?
Ideally I would like something like this, looping 6 times on $i
:
<xsl:when test="$depth > $i">
[...]
<xsl:value-of select="substring($npath,($nlength - $i*2),1) - 1"/>
[...]
</xsl:when>
I'm using XSLT 1.0.
