Subject: RE: [xsl] [XPath 3.0] Can anonymous functions return markup? From: Jakub Malý <jakub@xxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 16 Dec 2012 23:41:31 +0100 |
I think only XQuery/XSLT functions can create new elements. There was a debate a few month ago regarding creating new elements in XPath functions: http://www.biglist.com/lists/lists.mulberrytech.com/xsl-list/archives/201208 /msg00170.html You may also find interesting Eric van der Vlist's suggestion for a new syntax for writing values of @select in XSLT https://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=18973 -----Original Message----- From: Costello, Roger L.

Hi Folks, I want to create an anonymous XPath function that returns markup. For example: let $print := function () { <hello>World</hello> } return ($print()) I tried embedding that XPath within an xsl:sequence element: <xsl:sequence select=" let $print := function () { <hello>World</hello> } return ($print()) " /> but that produced this error message: The value of attribute "select" associated with an element type "xsl:sequence" must not contain the '<' character. So I escaped the '<' characters: <xsl:sequence select=" let $print := function () { <hello>World</hello> } return ($print()) " /> and that produced this error message: Unexpected token "<" in path expression Is it possible to create an anonymous function that returns markup? If yes, how? /Roger
