You could also combine the best of both solutions with: <xsl:for-each select="//dc:subject"> <tr> <td scope="col" class="width1"/> <th scope="col" class="width20">Subject</th> <xsl:if test="@xsi:type"> <xsl:text> (</xsl:text) <xsl:value-of select="substring-after(@xsi:type, ':')"/> <xsl:text>)</xsl:text> </xsl:if> <xsl:text>: </xsl:text> <td scope="col" class="widthAuto"> <xsl:value-of select="."/> </td> </tr> </xsl:for-each>
...which would allow for the addition of other controlled subject vocabularies (or none at all) without having to update your stylesheet. ----- Shawn Averkamp Metadata Librarian University of Alabama Libraries smaverk...@ua.edu On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 6:03 PM, Enrico Silterra <es...@cornell.edu> wrote: > something like > <xsl:for-each select="//dc:subject"> > > <tr> > > <td scope="col" class="width1"/> > > > <xsl:choose> > <xsl:when test="@xsi:type='dcterms:LCSH'"> > <th scope="col" class="width20">Subject: LCSH </th> > </xsl:when> > <xsl:when test="@xsi:type='dcterms:TGM'> > <th scope="col" class="width20">Subject: TGM</th> > </xsl:when> > </xsl:choose> > > > <td scope="col" class="widthAuto"><xsl:value-of select="." /> > > </td> > > </tr> > " > On Mon, Aug 1, 2011 at 5:54 PM, Edward M.
