Synopsis

f:is-true( $value) as xs:boolean

Description

There are several conventions for indicating “true” or “false”. XSLT uses the words “yes” and “no” in many places. The XML Schema data type for xs:boolean uses “true” and “false” but also “1” and “0”.

The f:is-true() function returns true() for any of “true()”, “yes”, “true”, or a value that can be cast to an integer if that integer is not zero. It returns false() for any of “false()”, “no”, “false”, a value that can be cast to an integer that is zero, or the empty sequence.

It reports an error for any other value and returns “true()”.
