Hi Wendell,

In XSLT 1.0 the only way to do this would be by using a stylesheet to generate your stylesheet.

Ugh.


Maybe Mike or Jeni or someone can suggest an easier way to do this in XSLT 2.0.

Maybe use a key?


I'm confused (again!). I'm basically trying to rework some of my code, in part based around Geert's suggestions, but I can't really see how to do what I'm wanting to do (which is to be able to work on content from external files). It seems, for example, that I cannot use a key on content I want to access via the doc function.

<xsl:variable name="bibrecord" select="doc(concat('bib-data/', $bibkey, '.mods'))" />
<xsl:key name="biblio" match="$bibrecord//mods:mods" use="@ID" />


Or is there some other way to do this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="2.0"
xmlns:mods="http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3";
xmlns:db="http://docbook.org/docbook-ng";
exclude-result-prefixes="db mods">


<xsl:output method="xhtml" encoding="UTF-8" />

<xsl:variable name="bibkey" select="db:biblioref/@linkend" />
<xsl:variable name="bibrecord" select="doc(concat('bib-data/', $bibkey, '.mods'))" />


   <xsl:template match="/">
      <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
         <head>
            <title>Testing</title>
         </head>
         <body>
            <h3>Citations</h3>
            <xsl:for-each select="//$bibkey">
               <ol>
                  <li><xsl:value-of select="." /></li>
               </ol>
            </xsl:for-each>
            <h3>Titles</h3>
            <xsl:for-each select="//$bibkey">
               <xsl:value-of select="$bibrecord//mods:title" />
            </xsl:for-each>
         </body>
      </html>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
