Here is what the spec has to say about it:
http://w3.org/TR/xslt#variable-values
If the variable element has a select attribute, the value of the
variable is the  object resulting from the evaluation of the expressio
in that attribute.
If the variable element has child nodes, the value of the variable is a
result tree fragment.

| | Hallo,
| | my question is about creating of the variable with the false() value.
| I need
| | create the variable by the follow way:
| |
| | <xsl:variable name="myVariable">
| |     <xsl:choose>
| |         <xsl:when test="someMyTest">
| |             <xsl:value-of select="true()"/>
| |         </xsl:when>
| |         <xsl:otherwise>
| |             <xsl:value-of select="false()"/>
| |         </xsl:otherwise>
| |     </xsl:choose>
| | </xsl:variable>
| |
| |
| | But the variable $myVariable is ever true(). So I tested:
| |
| | <xsl:variable name="myVariable">
| |     <xsl:if test="false()"/>
| | </xsl:variable>
| |
| | This code generates nothing, but the variable $myVariable is still
| ever true().
| | Why? Only way how to create the variable with the false() value is:
| |
| | <xsl:variable name="myVariable">
| | </xsl:variable>
| |
| | Is is some feature?
| |
| | I'm using libsxlt-1.1.10
| |
| |
| |     Thanks
