Re: [xsl] passing template names

["Mukul Gandhi" <gandhi.mukul@xxxxxxxxx>]

With Saxon you can do this.

Following is excerpt from Saxon 8.7.3 documentation:

Saxon supports an alternative instruction saxon:call-template. This
has the same effect as xsl:call-template, except that the name
attribute may be written as an attribute value template, allowing the
called template to be decided at run-time. The string result of
evaluating the attribute value template must be a valid QName that
identifies a named template somewhere in the stylesheet.
