RE: [xsl] XSLT2, select nodes inside a tokenize()'d variable

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Just bind a variable outisde the for-each, and use that:

<xsl:template name="makeSegLabel">
 <xsl:variable name="this" select="."/>
 <xsl:variable name="ana" select="tokenize(@ana, '(\s+)')"/> 
  <xsl:for-each select="$ana">
    <xsl:value-of select="$this"/><xsl:text>:</xsl:text>
    <xsl:value-of select="root($this)//category[@id = $this]/catDesc"/> 
  </xsl:for-each> 
</xsl:template>
