Hi Eugene: The name attribute on call-template is a qname, so there is no way to use a variable in this sense. What I would recommend is using modes instead... i.e. <xsl:param name="outputType"/> <xsl:call-template name="header"/> <!-- handle the body --> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$outputType='format1'"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="format1"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$outputType='format2'"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="format2"/> </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> <xsl:call-template name="footer"/> <xsl:template match="myelement" mode="format1"> ... </xsl:template> HTH!

So, the sample XSL would be following: <xsl:variable name="currentTemplate" select="'test'"/> <xsl:call-template name="$currentTemplate"/> Seems like XSLT does not allow this. Am I using the wrong syntax? Can this be achieved in any other way? The reason I am asking about this is that I am trying to use multiple templates to create header, body and footer for a web page. Header and footer stays the same for all the pages. However, body always changes. If I assign template names to header, footer and body, I can call them to apply these templates. I want to be able to call diffent body templates depending on the value of a variable. Any help would be appreciated.
