Oh dear :( If it's too scary and Tom's gave you what you needed, then ignore this, but just to explain: the templates I gave doesn't run in Xalan because it uses an extension function. I used the one from the EXSLT namespace. You have to use the one from the Xalan namespace. You do that by declaring the Xalan namespace in the xsl:stylesheet element: xmlns:xalan="http://xml.apache.org/xalan" And then replacing exsl:node-set() in the template with xalan:nodeset() to give: <xsl:template match="ref"> <xsl:variable name="link-rtf"> <link href="{@id}"> go to ref </link> </xsl:variable> <xsl:apply-templates select="xalan:node-set($link-rtf)/*" /> </xsl:template> > a question -- is there any chance to put text inside call-template > as it is possible with apply-templates? or better, use call-template > inside call-template? You can't put text (well, aside from whitespace) inside xsl:apply-templates, nor inside xsl:call-template. I'm not sure what you'd want it to do, but perhaps its to give another parameter value? You can use xsl:call-template (or anything else!) inside xsl:with-param: <xsl:call-template name="a"> <xsl:with-param name="var" select="@some_value" /> <xsl:with-param name="var2"> <xsl:call-template name="b"> <xsl:with-param name="var" select="@some_value" /> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:with-param> </xsl:call-template> if that would help? > and tell the truth -- why all of you are using such terrifing > language as xslt is? <grin/> don't templates and xml parsers in java > or even some tree-structured objects are much better, faster, > simpler and flexible? :-) Simplicity's in the eye of the beholder ;) I think it's much more straight forward to query into XML with XPath and build XML with XSLT than to use the DOM to do it. But each to their own - it's certainly the case that Java's faster than XSLT and can handle some things (particular string processing) a lot easier than XSLT can.
