Re: [docbook-apps] personalize xsl docbook

Hi,
The problem is that in XSL syntax, you cannot set a parameter inside an
xsl:choose statement, because it goes out of scope when the xsl:choose
closes.  You have to put the choose statement inside the parameter:

<xsl:param name="column.count.body">
  <xsl:choose>
    <xsl:when test='$var1="2"'>2</xsl:when>
    <xsl:when test='$var1="1"'>1</xsl:when>
  </xsl:choose>
</xsl:param>

You might want to add an xsl:otherwise statement to catch any bad input
values.
