Re: [xsl] Converting <xml> StyleSheet param contents into a node set?

[Jacquo Johnson <genxgeek@xxxxxxxxx>]

Looks like the stylesheet param method only accepts a key as a string
and the expression as a string as well.  This is a wrapper over a
Xalan/Xerces C/C++ (Xalan1.5, Xerces2.6)

SetStyleSheetParam (const STD(wstring) & inKey, const STD(wstring) &
inExpression);

So I am stuck with passing the contents as a string.
