Subject: Passing context with call-template select
Author: Frans Englich

Hello all,

I have 10 "bar" elements in the document element "foo". In my
XSLT sheet I have a template for formatting, which various
templates (is supposed to) call, with somehow as argument the
elements they want to be formatted, via some form of XPath/select
mechanism.

My idea is this, which what I understand doesn't, and should not, work:
<xsl:call-template name="formattingTemplate" select="//bar[my='selection']"/>

Since call-template doesn't have @select.

But how do I solve my problem -- how do I make a template operate
on a set of elements I choose? Do I have to pass an param/variable containing
the selected nodes?

Thanks in advance,

Frans

Minollo I.

nodeset identified by //bar[my='selection].

Hope this helps,

I think you got the examples wrong!

(at least it's empty for me)

Cheers,

Second try:

If I well understand what you are trying to do, you just need to use a:
<xsl:apply-templates select="//bar[my='selection']"/>

...and then have a...

<xsl:template match="bar">
...
</xsl:template>

...take care of outputting "bar" the way you like. The template matched on
"bar" will be triggered for all occurrences of the "bar" element in the
nodeset identified by //bar[my='selection].

Hope this helps,
Minollo
