Please consider this example, <xsl:variable name="temp"> <xsl:call-template name="handleSomeElem"> <xsl:with-param select="$current/elem"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:variable> <!-- do something with $temp, after the previous call --> <xsl:template name="handleSomeElem"> <xsl:param name="elem"> <!-- Generate some XML fragment. Could be a big one. e.g. <x> <y/> </x> --> </xsl:template> Many a times, I like the above style (for a requirement like this), as compared to using xsl:apply-templates or xsl:function. -- Regards, Mukul Gandhi
