Hi,
I'm very new to Xquery and don't know much more than what I've read in a
tutorial. Now I have trouble with a query where I need an if-statement
inside a FLWOR-expression. The following minimal example shows the
problem:
for $item in (1 to 5)
if ($item < 3) then
let $var := 'abc'
else
let $var := 'def'
return
<p>Text {$var}</p>
The 'if' doesn't seem to be permitted after the for, I get an error
message
"Parse error: element name containing whitespace: unexpected token:
if"
What can I do to solve this?
Thanks, Georg
