Hi,

Forgive my lack of knowledge, I am trying to to add a base URL to the html output of a DOI, the first "when" statement does this by selecting nodes that start with "10" and then concatenating the output with the "http://dx.doi.org/" base URL. However, in the example I have below it is not working because the next "when" statements seem to overvide it. I have tried using "if" and "otherwise" and also putting the first "when" statement in a different "choose" element but this mucks up the "test" elements of the following statements. Below is the stylesheet I am modifying with my added "when" statement first. At the end I have included a sample XML file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:strip-space elements="*"/>

<xsl:output method="html" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/>

  <xsl:template name="element">
    <xsl:param name="indent" select="0"/>
    <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
    <xsl:choose>
      <xsl:when test='starts-with(./@identifier,"10")'>
        <div class="text" style="margin-left:{$indent * 16}px;">
          <code>"<xsl:value-of select="concat('http://dx.doi.org/',.)"/></code>
        </div>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="self::text()">
        <div class="text" style="margin-left:{$indent * 16}px;">
          <code><xsl:value-of select="normalize-space(.)"/></code>
        </div>
      </xsl:when>
      <xsl:when test="self::*">
        <div class="element" style="margin-left:{$indent * 16}px;">
          <code>
                <xsl:value-of select="concat('<',name(.))"/>
                <xsl:for-each select="./@*"><xsl:text> </xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="name(.)"/>="<xsl:value-of select="."/>"</xsl:for-each>
                 <xsl:value-of select="concat('','>')"/>
             </code>
        </div>
        <xsl:for-each select="node()">
          <xsl:call-template name="element">
            <xsl:with-param name="indent">
              <xsl:value-of select="$indent + 1"/>
            </xsl:with-param>
          </xsl:call-template>
        </xsl:for-each>
        <xsl:text>
</xsl:text>
        <div class="element" style="margin-left:{$indent * 16}px;">
                <code><xsl:value-of select="concat('</',name(.),'>')"/></code>
        </div>
      </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template match="/">
        <div id="xml_view">
          <xsl:for-each select="node()">
            <xsl:call-template name="element">
              <xsl:with-param name="indent">
                0
              </xsl:with-param>
            </xsl:call-template>
          </xsl:for-each>
    </div>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

The sample XML does not contain any attributes called 'identifier'. Plus you are not referring to it by its namespace.

The start of your stylesheet should contain the following:

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">

Your xsl:when should then read:

<xsl:when test='starts-with(self::dc:identifier,"10")'>

Also, you should be using the xsl:element instruction, rather than trying to construct the element as text:

<xsl:element name="{name(.)}">
  <xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:element>

You have two <xsl:choose> instructions in there, so you are getting two outputs.
