Re: [xep-support] xsl:for-each within xsl:variable

Actually it is neither FOP nor XEP that transforms your document, but
whatever XSLT processor is being used. I believe XEP uses Saxon by
default, but you can set it up to use Xalan or whatever processor you
want. I don't know about FOP.

That said, I don't know why your code doesn't work, but a simpler
solution might be to have two different templates: one for the first
keyword, which would prefix the keyword by "Keyword(s):", and one for
the others, which would prefix the keyword with a comma. Something
like this:

<xsl:template match="keyword[1]">
        <xsl:call-template name="display1">
                <xsl:with-param name="label" select="'Keyword(s):'" />
                <xsl:with-param name="content" select="..." />
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="keyword">
        <xsl:call-template name="display1">
                <xsl:with-param name="label" select="','" />
                <xsl:with-param name="content" select="..." />
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

I'm just typing off the top of my head, so I could be wrong about the
exact syntax...
