bitwise AND operation in xslt

[biswaranjan.rath]

Hi,

Can I test something like

<xsl:if test="(@access & 1) = 1">
</xsl:if>

Does xsl support bitwise operation like |, &, ^ etc.

Thanks,
Biswaranjan

According to the XSLT 1.0 and XPath 1.0 specs, no. And a quick check of
XPath 2.0/XQuery suggests they aren't going to be added.

Even EXSLT doesn't define these.

Find another way to encode your data and/or to express your problem
and/or to extract the relevant information?

.... or find/write extension functions to perform these operations (but
be aware that this means your solution won't be portable between
processors).
