Subject: Re: [xsl] My Intent: Template to generate RTF From: Wendell Piez <wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 17 Oct 2003 14:52:35 -0400 |
If you've been following the thread: "Template to return XML" I wanted to explain my intent just a bit more. I did manage to set my variable, not with a template call but a fairly complex *select*
----- OMG! Thinking of another solution as I type! The *complex* select statement, this string can be returned by a template... yes/no? -----
Anyways, this is what I ended up with for a variable declaration: <xsl:variable name="xmTmplt" select="$DOC_TEMPLATE_XML//DOC[@id=ancestor-or-self::*[count(current()/ances tor-or-self::*)-1]/@id]"/>
Its a bit messy, but it works (is this common? maybe this isn't messy, but is the most *complex* xpath expression I've written so far).
So my intent, was to wrap up the messy expression into a template. The template would be responsible for returning a correct (corresponding) $DOC_TEMPLATE_XML (this is basically a footprint to the data source (uggg... struggling to talk the talk here, sorry).
So, the above varialbe decleration was to look something like this: <xsl:variable name="xmTmplt" select="A_CALL_TO_A_TEMPLATE"/>
Now I'm wondering if this will work: <xsl:variable name="xmTmplt" select="$A_COMPLEX_XPATH_STRING_VALUE"/>
This, however, requires an additional line of code, the variable decleration. This could be global... I'm going to play around with this *thinking outloud a bit here*
Cheers, Wendell
