Yes, I though of this solution too, but seems like too much trouble. About stylesheets not having many entry point choices, I think this limitation helps to enforce that stylesheets have a single purpose, while they could have many purposes based on related functionality. Like object-oriented languages, you can call a class constructor passing parameters (global parameters in XSLT) and then call a method passing other parameters (initial template parameters). -- Max 2010/3/18 David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>: > On 18/03/2010 14:13, Max Toro wrote: >>> more portable you can have a simple stylesheet with just a named template > that initialises its parameters from global parameters and then xsl:imports > the original stylesheet. this means you need a wrapper stylesheet for any > top level named template that you want to use, but most stylesheets don't > have _so_ many choices for initial named template. >> The only solution I can think of is using extension methods to pull >> the parameters from the environment, something like this: >> >> <xsl:param name="color" value="(ext:get-parameter('color'), 'red')[1]" >> as="xs:string"/> > > > David > > ________________________________________________________________________ > The Numerical Algorithms Group Ltd is a company registered in England > and Wales with company number 1249803.
