Re: [xsl] String conversion problem when string is large

[Michael Kay <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try changing this:

          <xsl:with-param name="HexData">
            <xsl:value-of select="substring-after($HexData, ',')" />
          </xsl:with-param>

to this:

          <xsl:with-param name="HexData" select="substring-after($HexData, ',')" />


Passing the parameter as a string will be MUCH more efficient than passing it as a TinyTree.

Even better, though probably not necessary, would be to pass the original unchanged string plus an offset.

Since your reply, I tried some creative Googling and turned up a download link that works.  I'll give try SaxonHE9-4-0-3J.zip a try.
