How to match this OR that in an xsl template?

Question

In my Sharepoint fldtypes_custom.xsl file, I have this code, which works perfectly. However, I want to use the same code on three or four similar fields.

Answer 1

Is there a way I can match fields named status1 OR status2, OR status3 in the same template?

Use:

<xsl:template match="status1 | status2 | status3">
  <!-- Your processing here -->
</xsl:template>

However, I see from the provided code, that the strings "status1", "status2" and "status3" aren't element names -- they are just possible values of the Name attribute of the FieldRef element.

In this case, your template could be:

<xsl:template match="FieldRef
     [@Name = 'status1' or @Name = 'status2' or @Name = 'status3']">
  <!-- Your processing here -->
</xsl:template>

In case there are many possible values for the Name attribute, one can use the following abbreviation:

<xsl:template match="FieldRef
     [contains('|status1|status2|staus3|', concat('|',@Name, '|'))]">
  <!-- Your processing here -->
</xsl:template>
