RE: [xsl] external var in XSL

Ooops!

I thought it was possible. I am not an XSLT guru (far from it), but I have
used that "trick" several times.

I've tried an example (using Xalan; see below) and it works.

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,
Angel

	<xsl:template match="manual/chapter[@name=$chapterNumber]">

That's a syntax error in XSLT, you can not use variables in match
patterns.
