Re: [xsl] Looping through parameters

["Iain W Fergusson" <fergusson_iain@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Duncan,

If you put your parameters into an XML file, e.g.
<parameterList>
     <param1>...</param1>
     <param2>...</param2>
</parameterList>
you can pass the name of the parameter file, rather than the individual
parameters, to your stylesheet.
Then open the parameter file with document() and select  each child of
parameterList.

Regards,

Iain

Subject:  [xsl] Looping through parameters




Dear XSL-listers

Is there an XPath expression that will allow me to generically refer to one or
more parameters passed externally into a stylesheet? e.g.

<xsl:for-each select="external-parameter-passed-in">
    do something with each parameter
</xsl:for-each>

I want to be able to handle the parameters generically, rather than by each
parameter name as shown below which repeats the code <!--stuff-->
.
<!--check to see that param1 is not null-->
<xsl:if test="$param1!=''">
    <!--stuff-->
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$param2!=''">
    <!--stuff-->
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="$param3!=''">
      <!--stuff-->
</xsl:if>

etc

Duncan
