Variables in an XSLT sheet

[Luke Reeves <lu...@oceanlake.com>]

I'm trying to declare a variable at the start of an XSLT sheet like so:

	<xsl:variable name="english">true</xsl:variable>

And trying to use that later in the sheet with:

	<xsl:if test="$english='true'">

But the test code is never executed.  Anyone know why?  Thanks.

These are very few informations, but you could check the value of '$english'
with an 'xsl:message' directly before the "xsl:if":
<xsl:message><xsl:value-of select="$english"/></xsl:message>

As far as I know Xalan prints those messages to standard out (or error?).
