Since I am often not alone when working on a larger project, maintainability is an important requirement And having multiple smaller files helps collaboration
Hi all,
Friday question... I'd like to see if concensus has emerged about stylesheet organisation. Do you:
a) stick to one large file (where possible)
b) break down the xslt into smaller stylesheets that are included/imported into an entry point stylesheet
If you use b), how do you handle common imports (such as a functions.xslt, variables.xslt, common.xslt etc) ?
Do you import them once (say in the entry point stylesheet) and rely on tools to be aware of that, or do you import them everywhere they are used and rely on import precendence to sort it out?
I've also seen it done where each stylesheet contains little more than 1 or 2 templates, and those stylesheets are imported by stylesheets which contain nothing other than import statements, and those 'import' stylesheets are in turn imported by other stylesheets... personally I hated that, but I could understand its intentions.
Any other techniques? Is there a common style yet?
