To insert another condition, place the insertion point in Code view between <xsl:when> tag pairs or just before the
<xsl:otherwise> tag, and then insert a conditional region (Insert > XSLT Objects > Conditional Region).
After you specify the condition and click OK, another <xsl:when> tag is inserted in the <xsl:choose> block.
For more information and examples on writing conditional expressions, see the <xsl:choose> sections in the
Reference panel (Help > Reference).

Use the XPath Expression Builder to add expressions for XML data
XPath (XML Path Language) is a non-XML syntax for addressing portions of an XML document. It is used mostly as
a query language for XML data, just as the SQL language is used to query databases. For more information on XPath,
see the XPath language specification on the W3C website at
