Question

Please explain to me how to include a plain html inside an XSL template

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() = last()">
<xsl:text><tr><td colspan='10'>bla bla.</td></tr></xsl:text></xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

Error: ‘tr’ cannot be a child of the ‘xsl:text’ element.

Thanks !

Answer 1

Simply remove the <xsl:text> tags:

<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="position() = last()">
  <tr><td colspan="10">bla bla.</td></tr>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>

An <xsl:text> element means “insert text here”. Therefore, its content must only consist of text nodes. You can, however, simply write out the text; the following two lines are equivalent:

<xsl:text>foo bar</xsl:text>
foo bar
