[XSL-LIST Mailing List Archive Home] [By Thread] [By Date] [Recent Entries] [Reply To This Message] Are variables allowed in XPATHs?
I've written some XSL that is parameterised based
on a set of variables defined in an xsl:include-ed
file. The reason is that I want to separate the
generic transformation from the specifics, both to
facilitate re-use and to avoid unintentional
editing of the XSL when targeting it at a specific
instance of the problem.
This seems to work fine with Xalan, but XMLSpy gives me an error, saying that variables and parameters cannot be used in patterns. Am I doing something that may break if I move from Xalan to another processor, or is XMLSpy just telling me that this is a limitation in its debugger? I'm particularly interested, since I am in the process of evaluating XMLSpy. If this is a limitation of XMLSpy, can anyone point me to another tool that can handle this kind of code, since I expect to be writing a lot of it. Of course, if there's a better way to approach the problem, I'd be interested to hear that, too! I've only been hacking at XSLT for about a week, so I'm definitely not au fait with all its facilities, yet. TIA Harry O. XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
