XSLT Tutorial

Worksheet 6: xsl:choose, xsl:when

Following on from our Workshop 5 example, let's rather implement this example with the xsl:choose and xsl:when instructions:

Once again from the Worksheet_6 directory open the Headline XML:

<headlines>
   <article>Rescued penguins swim home
       <summary>Some 150 penguins unaffected ...</summary>
       <category>Science &amp; Nature</category>
    </article>

   <article>Bug mops up sewage
    <summary>A bug found in sewage water has...</summary> 
   <category>Science &amp; Nature</category>
</article>

<article>In the land of the colour-blind
   <summary>A hunt to find the cause of widespread ...</summary>
   <category>Health</category>
</article>
</headlines>

Here's what to do:  

Open the todaysnews.xsl file, and change it so that every odd article is in blue and every even article is in red.

The HTML result should be:

Today's Headlines

Rescued penguins swim home
Bug mops up sewage
In the land of the colour-blind
