Subject: question about call-template From: "Reid M. Pinchback" <reidmp@xxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 29 Jan 2000 20:40:06 -0500 |
[Apologies if anybody has seen this message before. I'm pretty sure the listserv never sent it out the first time, but the archive on Mulberry's web site is broken and I can't check to make sure.] I'm stumped. I've learned how to write a template. Ditto for calling a template by name, and for passing parameters to a template. I can't find a way to pass the *name* of a template to another template, and then call that template by that name. In other words, something like: <xsl:template match="/"> <html><body> <xsl:call-template name="A"> <xsl:with-param name="Tpl">B</xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> </body></html> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="A"> <xsl:param name="Tpl"></xsl:param> <xsl:call-template name="$Tpl"></xsl:call-template> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="B"> <HR/> </xsl:template> Should this be possible? I'm using IBM's XSL processor, but when I try this I just get: "XSL Error: Could not find template named: '$Tpl' Basically what I'm looking for is the same kind of functionality you get in languages that allow you to pass a function by reference. That way I could create one template that did common processing, and pass a specialized template to it to handle issues specific to the portion of the document tree I'm trying to process (eg: create a generic reusable table layout vs dealing with content-specific layout issues in the rows). Thanks in advance for any assistance. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
