How do I tell if a variable in xslt is greater than another.

Question

Each of these variables has an integer value. But this syntax is not valid for some reason:

<xsl:when test="$nextAnswerListItemPos < $nextQuestionStemPos" >

Answer 1

You have to use < instead of < and > instead of >, because those are reserved characters.

Answer 2

Also, in XSLT 2.0, you can use the operators "gt" (greater than), "lt" (less than), and "eq" (equal). Using these instead of the entities makes your code a bit cleaner.
