XSL if-expression

[Jim Garrison]

OxygenXML is rejecting the following usage with
"Unknown system function: if"

<xsl:variable name="qd"
select="if(value/qDisplay/text() eq '')
then 'empty'
else 'right'"/>

Is this syntactically correct? If not, how should it
read?

<xsl:if test=(name="qd") >

That's an XSLT tag.

XPath 2.0 also defines (according to the documentation at w3c)
an if-expression. Look at http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath20/ and
search for IfExpr. This is the XPath equivalent of the
Java/C/C++ ternary operator ?:. It's been in the spec since
2001, and AFAICT I'm using the correct syntax, but Oxygen
doesn't like it.

Are you sure you have Oxygen set to use an XSLT 2.0 processor like Saxon
to process that stylesheet?
