RE: Conditional selection of Templates in XSL


Try
<xsl:template match="TABLE">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="$isFile = 'true'">
			<xsl:call-template name="extractTable"/>
		</xsl:when>
		<xsl:otherwise>
			<xsl:copy-of select="." />
		</xsl:otherwise>
	</xsl:choose>
	<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="extractTable">
	<xsl:value-of select="./text()"/>
</xsl:template>
