Subject: [xsl] Combining XSL's From: Mark Anderson <mark.anderson@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 12 Aug 2011 22:01:05 +0000 |
Hi All I'm trying to take a very large XSL with multiple sections and split it into several smaller xsl's that can be combined in any order. Its transforming XML to HTML for job ticket. Because of the nature of the doc it uses pull processing: basically and HTML page with lots of xsl:value-of, etc. The full XSL has Header Sect 1 Sect 2 Sect 3 Sect 4 Footer Some user want to see Header Sect1 Sect2 Footer Others Want to see Header Sect4 Footer Etc. Essentially each section is a fragment of HTML with xsl processing instructions. Sect 4, for example, may be raw materials: <table> <xsl:for-each select="material"> <tr> <td><xsl-value-of select="name"/></td> </tr> </table> That's a really over-simplified example, as that could easily be done apply-templates and a match on materials, which could easily be included. In reality, each section relies on variables setup elsewhere in doc, and has to get data from many different locations. I could make umpteen copies and easily cut out the bits I don't want, but then if the header changes I need to edit umpteen XSL's What I really want to do is have "shell" XSL that combines the relevant bits Include header Include sect 1 Include Sect 4 Include footer The big problem I see is that the header will have the <html> and <body> tags and footer needs to have the </body> and </html> tags so neither the header of footer could be valid xml, xsl, etc. (I know I could use > and disable output escaping) Is there any way to do this? Regards mark
