Subject: How to retrieve value in xsl:value variable?? From: "Lucie C. Chan" <lcchan@xxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sat, 19 Feb 2000 16:19:03 -0500 |
I'm new to XSL, and thought someone on the Net can give me some help on this. I have the following elements in my x.xml file. Some of the information in the file will be extracted and used in a text doc: <PERIODIC_TABLE> <ATOM STATE="GAS"> <NAME>Hydrogen</NAME> <SYMBOL>H</SYMBOL> </ATOM> </PERIODIC_TABLE> ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Desired output: Information for: Hydrogen ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- So I defined the following in my x.xsl file: <xsl:template match="/"><xsl:apply-templates/></xsl:template> <xsl:template match="ATOM"> <!-- define a varialbe --> <xsl:variable name='atomname'> <xsl:value-of select="NAME"/> </xsl:variable> <!-- print out some information --> Information for: <xsl:value-of select='$atomname'/> Name: <xsl:value-of select='$atomname'/> <!-- end of output --> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> ----------------------------------------------------- The reson I defined a variable "atomname" is because I want to use it in several places in my doc. However, I would like to be able to retrieve the value using $atomname without invoking <xsl:value> call, i.e. is there a way that I can print my information in the following way in my x.xsl file? <!-- print out some information --> Information for: '$atomname' Name: '$atomname' <!-- end of output --> This didn't work ($atomname is printed instead of the value stored in the variable) when I tried to using to process my files using a XSLT processor. Thanks for any help/suggestion, etc. If possible, email reply preferred. Lucie C. Chan <lcchan@xxxxxxxxxx> XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
