pc:assign-boolean-default |

|
This directive is the same as pc:assign-boolean for those variables that have not already been instantiated. For variables that have already been instantiated, their existing variable value is NOT overwritten, but it is still converted to a boolean. Syntax
For each variable, variable identifies the variable by name and expr is the value you provide for the variable. Expr may be submitted either as a literal or as an XPath expression presented as an attribute value template, ie., surrounded by curly braces ( { } ). If you specify pc:booleanflags="yes", then special "flag-based" conversion rules are applied that are specific to USoft Blend. Otherwise, XSLT-style conversion rules are applied. The example below is a use case for pc:booleanflags="yes".
Example This example allows users to call your script with optional yes/no flags as input parameters, such as: verbose=true
showing the typical use case in which your script provides a default value if the user does not pass an explicit yes/no flag.
IMPORTANT: The pc:booleanflags="yes" switch is necessary to make this work. If you do not use it, then if the user passes the following command line setting: verbose=no
this is wrongly converted to boolean true(). For details, see "XSLT-style conversion rules" in the pc:assign-boolean help topic.
