XSLT - counting the number of xsl:if which are true...

[Lizard]

OK, total newbie here, so this may be a mind-numbingly dumb question AND I may be phrasing it badly.

I have an xsl:template which looks like this:

<xsl:template match="LoanRecord">
<hr>
<xsl:number count="LoanRecord" format="1"/><br/>
Loan ID:<xsl:value-of select="loan_no"> </xsl:value-of><br/>
Calculated CLTV:<xsl:value-of select="format-number (curr_balance div orig_amount,'##%')"> </xsl:value-of> <xsl:if test="(number(curr_balance div orig_amount) &gt; 0.8)"> <i> (High LTV)</i> </xsl:if> </hr> </xsl:template>

In short, it prints some data from the input file, and calculates a value, and, if that value is above a certain value, it also outputs a warning message.

This works.

What I want, though, is to have several xsl:if statements in there, and, at the end, to tally all those who evaluated to true. However, there seems to be no way to easily keep a running count of things. I am slowly begining to suspect this is by design. I am also aware I haven't fully inhaled the full syntax and function library of xslt, much less grokked all the cool things which can be done with it, so I am wondering if I might be missing something. (I know I can easily count all the nodes which meet a given condition; what I want to do is, within a record, check for 'n' conditions and then count the total number of conditions satisfied.)

Have you tried <xsl:choose> ?

What about this:

<xsl:variable name="vHits">
<xsl:if test="expression1">1</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="expression2">1</xsl:if>
. . . . . . . . . .
<xsl:if test="expressionN">1</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="vhitCount" select="string-length($vHits)"/>

What about this:

<xsl:variable name="vHits">
<xsl:if test="expression1">1</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="expression2">1</xsl:if>
. . . . . . . . . .
<xsl:if test="expressionN">1</xsl:if>
</xsl:variable>

<xsl:variable name="vhitCount" select="string-length($vHits)"/>

Looks interesting...I will try that. Thanks!
