Re: [xsl] Defining a key on a RTF inside a Template

[Mukul Gandhi <mukul_gandhi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thank you David for the most precise explanation.. I
have another related doubt..

Supposing, I want to apply key() function within the
below for-each loop, on the document constructed from
the source XML(and not the RTF)
<xsl:for-each
select="exsl:node-set($rtf)/someelement">
  <!-- using key() here to operate on the document
representing the source XML; not the RTF -->
</xsl:for-each>

Can this be done..?

I feel, this could be a requirement in applications..

Regards,
Mukul
