Subject: RE: [xsl] xslt 2.0, use case wanted. From: David.Pawson@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 6 Apr 2004 09:07:44 +0100 |
The initial node is in fact available, you can make it a global variable by writing <xsl:variable name="start" select="."/> So saxon has this prior to instantiating the first template? Subtle Mike... too much so for me :-) thanks. In my use case, it would be select="name()"/> to get hold of 'sect2', and with a little... or a lot more work, I guess I could find the path to root to get /part/book/chapter/sect1[3]/sect2[4], but only if I knew which template had been called first, which takes us on to the rest of your comments. It's the initial template and initial mode that aren't available. Template names and mode names are not things that a stylesheet normally manipulates at run-time, and I think if we made them available it would quickly lead to demands to specify modes and template names dynamically in call-template and apply-templates (not that such demands would be new). If I know the $start value... as the stylesheet programmer, expecting only, say, one of a few 'start points', I could determine (non programmatically) the template that would be called first? E.g. in the example I gave it would be the template for sect2. regards DaveP. - DISCLAIMER: NOTICE: The information contained in this email and any attachments is confidential and may be privileged.
