Hello,
I am attempting to write an XML-to-XML filter for document entries. The user
can filter the XML file by author, title, or type (ps, pdf, doc, etc).
Structure of xml:
<?xml version="1.0">
<repository>
<so>
<author>Bob</author>
<title>I Like Cheese</title>
<type>pdf</type>
</so>
</repository>
To do it all in one XSL file, I wrote the following:
<xsl:param name="query">'Ruth Ablett'</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="search-mode">=</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="sort-by">author</xsl:param>
<xsl:param name="BigQuery" select="concat($sort-by, $search-mode, $query)"/>
... XSL required stuff...
<xsl:template="/">
<xsl:if test="{$BigQuery}">
<xsl:apply-templates select="so">
... the "so" template has the required stuff to filter the document.
However, the transformer blows up at {$BigQuery}. Can I use literals {} like
that?
Thanks.
Ruth

"Microsoft's No. 1 product is Windows, which now comes automatically
installed on every computer in the world and many kitchen appliances.
Technically, Windows is an "operating system," which means that it supplies
your computer with the basic commands that it needs to suddenly, with no
warning whatsoever, stop operating.
I speak from experience here. Many a time I have spent hours writing a
serious and thoughtful column on an important issue, only to have Windows --
which is often referred to as "the French labor union of software" -- get
into a snit and call a general computer strike that erases all my work
moments before deadline, leaving me with no choice but to bang out a highly
inaccurate column such as this one."
