Subject: [xsl] XSL:T Spec - qname processing - Question/Suggestion From: Peter Bray <pdb_ml@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 4 Mar 2002 12:58:39 +1100 (EST) |
Greetings, Being the programming type I find it strange that the XSL:T standard does not allow variables / parameters expansion in qnames such as "mode" in <apply-templates>. While I have read part of XSL:T and XML standards regarding qnames I can't really see why simple variable/parameter expansion is not permitted. Will this change in XSLT 2.0 ? Regards, Peter This might be best illustrated by an example. INVALID XSLT ============ <xsl:template name="generateTableRow"> <xsl:param name="label"/> <xsl:param name="match"/> <xsl:param name="count"/> <xsl:param name="mode" select="''"/> <!-- Other Logic and Markup --> <xsl:apply-templates select="$match" mode="$mode"/> <!-- Other Logic and Markup --> </xsl:template> VALID XSLT ========== <xsl:template name="generateTableRow"> <xsl:param name="label"/> <xsl:param name="match"/> <xsl:param name="count"/> <xsl:param name="mode" select="''"/> <!-- Other Logic and Markup --> <!-- xsl:apply-templates' mode is a qname and qnames do not seem to expand variable references :-( --> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$mode = 'RequiredByGeneration'"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$match" mode="RequiredByGeneration"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> <xsl:apply-templates select="$match"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> <!-- Other Markup and Logic --> </xsl:template> http://movies.yahoo.com.au - Yahoo!
