["mohamed" <mohamed@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to call templates based on attribute names:

 

<?xml version="1.0"?>
 <testText >
     <text bold="yes">WITH BOLD</text>
     <text bold="yes" italic="yes"> WITH BOLD AND ITALIC</text>
 </testText>

so I declared templates that are called and match bold and italics,

 

 <xsl:template match="bold" name="bold">
  <b>

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

</b>
</xsl:template>

 

<xsl:template match="italics" name="italics">
  <i>

    <xsl:apply-templates/>

</i>
</xsl:template>

 

and I want to get an output as follows:

<b>WITH BOLD</b>

<b><i>WITH BOLD AND ITALIC</i></b>

 

 but because the

<xsl:apply-templates match=""> and the

<xsl:call-template name=""> don't evaluate expressions (like a variable $att whose value is bold, or the name() function that returns the name of the attribute) within the match and the name attributes I couldn't call the templates!

I don't know how many attributes I'll have (bold, italics, small, .... etc) so I want to make it flexible enough so adding one more attribute requires just adding a new template that matches it.

 

any suggestions?!

 

thanks ........
