Re: [xsl] stylesheet expansion

[Geert Bormans <geert@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I want to thank everybody for their valuable contributions to this thread.

Compiled stylesheet modules were indeed a bit of topic.
My requirement was a single stylesheet file that was the result of 
expanding all xsl:import statements

I ended up developing a stylesheet that looped over all the import 
statements repeatedly,
in order to carefully group keys, parameters, functions and templates,
dropping the template match="/" from every stylesheet but the main 
driver stylesheet

Since each of the imported files already had its functionality in 
separate modes,
I could do this without much trouble

Thanks again for all suggestions

Geert
