Hi Jeni, Thanks for your inputs. What I am exactly looking for is something like this.. let's say, I have the following pattern repeating several times in my stylesheet: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when condition> do something... </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> print something </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> I would like to replace this with: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when condition> do something... </xsl:when> <xsl:copy-of select="$paste"/> </xsl:choose> where $paste is retrieved from: <xsl:variable name="paste"> <xsl:otherwise> print something </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:variable> The only reason I want to do this, is to condense my stylesheet. However, I get an error that says something to the effect that: "You cannot use <xsl:otherwise> without <xsl:choose>". Is there a way I can forcibly copy something without any validation?

Is it that you have two calls to the 'tableheadingDT' template and want to make sure that the second call uses the same parameter values as the first, as well as the additional one? In other words, do you want a less repetitive method than: <xsl:call-template name="tableheadingDT"> <xsl:with-param name="bcolor" select="'LIGHTSKYBLUE'" /> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:call-template name="tableheadingDT"> <xsl:with-param name="bcolor" select="'LIGHTSKYBLUE'" /> <xsl:with-param name="param1" select="'value1'" /> </xsl:call-template> You could put the value for the $bcolor parameter into a variable, and use that in both calls: <xsl:variable name="bcolor" select="'LIGHTSKYBLUE'" /> <xsl:call-template name="tableheadingDT"> <xsl:with-param name="bcolor" select="$bcolor" /> </xsl:call-template> <xsl:call-template name="tableheadingDT"> <xsl:with-param name="bcolor" select="$bcolor" /> <xsl:with-param name="param1" select="'value1'" /> </xsl:call-template> But other than that, the closest you can get is to declare a general entity that holds the xsl:with-param for the $bcolor parameter and use that: <!ENTITY bcolor-param '<xsl:with-param name="bcolor" select="'LIGHTSKYBLUE'" />'> [I think] and then: <xsl:call-template name="tableheadingDT"> &bcolor-param; </xsl:call-template> <xsl:call-template name="tableheadingDT"> &bcolor-param; <xsl:with-param name="param1" select="'value1'" /> </xsl:call-template> Sorry I can't be more help. Perhaps if you described what you wanted to achieve we could find something else, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
