Subject: get the xsl value of syntax from an external file

Hi All,

Currently I am writing an xsl where i have a lot of <xsl:value-of select> statements.
This is the xml i need to trap in my xslt.
<Root Parent>
<Parent>
<Child>
TestRun
</Child>
</Parent>
</Root Parent>

I want to acutally get the value (Test Run) in the above case.
The hierarchial structure for the same is
<xsl:value-of select="Root Parent/Parent/Child"/>

I have many such values to extract & in some the node levels are over 5.
Something like
/catalog/cd/country/company/title
/catalog/cd/country/company/artist
/catalog/cd/country/company/title/price
/catalog/cd/country/company/title/year

Now I want to externalise all these in a separate file as constant values.
& then just fetch that value in the my main xsl file something like this.
title =/catalog/cd/country/company/title
artist=/catalog/cd/country/company/artist
price=/catalog/cd/country/company/title/price

Do post your suggestions on the same.

Regards,

What you want to achieve can only be done using non-standard functions that parse XPath expressions generated at runtime. What is your environment? Which version of Stylus are you using?
