Hi Sylvain,
At 04:07 AM 7/12/2005, you wrote:
My app structure will look like this (more or less):
/
/modules
/modules/news
/modules/books
Each module has its own XSL stylesheet defining the block it represents,
meaning the template starts with a <div> element.
At the root there is a stylesheet that defines the html elements :
<html><head /><body /></html>
I'd like to be able to include my modules stylesheet within the <body>
element at runtime.
One real simple way would be to import all my XSL stylesheets in my main
stylesheet and simply do some apply-template I suppose, but I wondered If
there would be a way to avoid having to import all my stylesheets and
simply include the right blocks depending on what the user asked to view.
Hmm... now that I read my message back again, I think I misunderstand
something here... and the fact I can't be really clear means I miss
something :/
No, it's clear enough ... it's hard to get your head around though because
in effect what you're asking is that your stylesheets be compiled and run
only conditionally. This is a tall order: "dynamic imports", which is a FAQ.
When it's absolutely necessary, this kind of thing can sometimes be
achieved by having stylesheets write stylesheets, but it's often not as
necessary as people think.
Generally the pros will tell you not to try to do this kind of thing unless
you know you really need a feature like this -- it won't necessarily save
you any time.
Cheers,
Wendell
