Re: [xsl] multiple template value input

[clemens schrenk <clemens.schrenk@xxxxxxx>]

well, yes - i want to have a series of distinct strings, and i really wanna
go for the last option you proposed. but as a matter of fact, i don't know
how to set the xsl:copy-of element as an input string of the called
templated since it is an essential part of the template where itself and the
call-template element is used.
sorry to cause you that much trouble...
