Re: [xsl] xsl:variable with a xsl:call-template

[David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx>]

  When i define a xsl:variable using a xsl:call-template, is the call-template
  applied every time i use this xsl:variable or just once when i define
  the xsl:variable?

One of those, or perhaps never, if the variable isn't actually used.
Different systems will take different stategies. As an xslt programmer
you are not supposed to care. the call-template is unlikely to be an
issue though you could ask teh same question about
<xsl:variable name="x" select="1+2"/>
how often is the addition done?

David
