Hi everyone,

At my organization we are evaluating Umbraco and the developers are loving it! However I have a question about my XSLT syntax, as I am new to this technology...

I have created a template and document type that allows for either a two-column (subnav/content) or three-column (subnav/content/sidebar) layout. Basically if the user adds content to the sidebar, then my macro will determine whether to render the third column DIV in the document. I have a similar macro that chooses the appropriate stylesheet (2- or 3-column layout) in the document head.

I can get the stylesheet to swap correctly, and I can get the sidebar content outputted to the page when applicable, but I am getting the HTML markup printed to the page (the sidebar content is added via Richtext Editor) instead of it being included normally. I believe this is a problem with my XSL syntax.

In the template I have:

<asp:content ContentPlaceHolderId="mainContent" runat="server">
    <div id="column1">
        <umbraco:Macro Alias="test_Subnavigation" runat="server" />
    </div>
    <div id="column2">
        <h1><umbraco:Item field="pageName" runat="server"></umbraco:Item></h1>
        <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
    </div>
    <umbraco:Macro Alias="XSL_TextpageThirdColumn" runat="server" />
</asp:content>

and in my macro I have:

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
    
    <xsl:choose>
            <xsl:when test="string($currentPage/data[@alias='sidebarText'])!=''">
            <div id="column3">
                <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/data[@alias='sidebarText']"/>
            </div>
            </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>

</xsl:template>

Any help would be great! I'm sure it's something simple.
