How to implement if-else statement in XSLT?

Question

I am trying to implement an if -else statement in XSLT but my code just doesn\'t parse. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

If I may offer some suggestions (two years later but hopefully helpful to future readers):

• Factor out the common h2 element.
• Factor out the common ooooooooooooo text.
• Be aware of new XPath 2.0 if/then/else construct if using XSLT 2.0.

  ooooooooooooo
