Hi Richard,

(You mean <xsl:param name="..." select="..." />.) You're correct: the
parameter declaration in the stylesheet gives a default value for the
parameter, which can be overridden by the code that executes the
stylesheet.

In a similar way, a parameter declaration in a template gives the
default value for a parameter that can be overridden by the code that
calls the template.

Questions on XSLT are best directed to XSL-List@m...; see

Cheers,

Jeni
