Subject: RE: [xsl] Context document with exsl:node-set()? From: "Scott Trenda" <Scott.Trenda@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 1 Nov 2007 14:32:24 -0500 |
I think I was trying to ask, is the template content of a variable treated as its own document? It would make sense if it were, considering it's possible to create new nodes within it, rather than creating a set of references to nodes in the original document when @select is used. Then exsl:node-set() essentially acts like document(), correct? I think I was getting confused because I started out making copies of the nodes in the template content. ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kay [mailto:mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, November 01, 2007 1:47 PM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: [xsl] Context document with exsl:node-set()? > > What happens to the context document when you use this in XSLT 1.0? Technically there's no such thing as the "context document", though it's a convenient shorthand for "the document containing the context node". > My suspicions > are that the context document changes to the contents of > $structured-data when I apply-templates to it Correct, when you apply-templates to a node that node becomes the context node. If you need to refer back to the original document, it's usually best to have a global variable bound to it. <xsl:variable name="main-doc" select="/"/> Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
