Subject: How To Include external XSL files into a master XSL file

 

What is the syntax to link multiple child style sheets into

a master style sheet ...

 

e.g.

header style sheet     header.xsl

footer style sheet      footer.xsl

data style sheet       data001.xsl

master style sheet.  master.xsl

 

this way i can always reference the master.xsl

style sheet from any/all   *.xml files

and then link in header.xsl (this one never changes)

then the appropriate data.xsl (this one changes)

then link the footer.xsl (this one never changes)

 

this way if I make any changes to the header

or the footer, they are edited in just one file

and reflected in all master.xsl files

 

 

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org>

<xsl:template match="/">

 

<!-- include the header.xsl file here -->

<!-- how to include syntax here -->

 

<!-- include the data.xsl file here -->

<!-- how to include syntax here -->

 

<!-- include the footer.xsl file here -->

<!-- how to include syntax here -->

 

 

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

 

also

what is the proper syntax in the included external xsl files

 

are they structured the same as the master.xsl file would

e.g.

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org>

<xsl:template match="/">

 

<!-- this is the header xsl file -->

 

</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
