boolean Function 

  • Artikel

Converts the argument to a Boolean.

boolean boolean(arg)

Remarks

This function converts arguments to Booleans according to the following rules.

  • If the argument is a negative or positive number, it is converted to the Boolean value true. If the argument is zero or an NaN value, it is converted to false.

  • If the argument is a non-empty node-set, it is converted to true. An empty node-set is converted to false.

  • If the argument is a non-empty string, it is converted to true. An empty string is converted to false.

  • If the argument is an object of a type other than the four basic types, it is converted to a Boolean in a way that is dependent on that type.

Example

XML File

None; the XSLT file calls itself.

If you use the sample XML file, books.xml, and change the href attribute to reference bool.xsl, boolean(//book) resolves as true.

XSLT File (bool.xsl)

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="bool.xsl"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
<xsl:output method="html"/>
