Xforms repeat question

Hello,

I've build a form and now in my model i have an type field. this can be to options, title or paragraph. Now i want to split this up in my form. The title field must be bold and the paragraph field should not.

      <field type="title"/>

I tried to do this whith an if statement in the output. But when I do this it doesn't work.
This is what I tried:

<xforms:repeat nodeset="task" id="task">
  <xhtml:p>
    <xforms:output value="if (@type = 'Title') then '&lt;b&gt;' else ''"/>
    <xforms:output value="if (@description = '') then 'No data... please
         fill in.' else (@description)" xhtml:size="30"/>
    <xforms:output value="if (@type = 'Title') then '&lt;/b&gt;' else ''"/>
  </xhtml:p>
</xforms:repeat>

this outputs: <b>No data... please fill in.</b> but no bold text.
Since I tried to use an switch in my repeat it didn't work either. What i read about XSL in my repeat doesn't work so i didn't even tried that. Are there any other options?

Second i got the question if its possible to use an textarea in my repeat because that didn't work like i planned it either...

:S it's pretty funny if it really workes :P

Greetings Stefan

For now, there is no standard with in XForms to output HTML markup, so
each XForms engine uses a "trick" to do this. OPS does it with the
"appearance" attribute, like this:

<xforms:output ref="some-ref" appearance="xxforms:html"/>

See for example the XForms Controls and Flickr Spell examples for an
illustration of this:

   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/goto-example/xforms-controls
   http://www.orbeon.com/ops/goto-example/flickr-spell

Note that the XForms 1.1 draft (now pretty old since it dates back to
December 2004) proposes a new "mediatype" attribute on xforms:output,
which could be used to present (X)HTML as well.

There is a known bug with xforms:repeat:

Try putting everything in xhtml:tr for now, to see if it will work.
