Hi,

In schema unaware xslt2 environments, what would be the best way to select action depending on the result type (ex: string, text node(s), attribute(s), element(s)) of saxon:evaluate(), ex:

idealy (v1) something like ... <xsl:template match="context" mode="foo"> <xsl:param name="xpathstring" select="... some xpath string ... "/> <xsl:apply-templates select="saxon:eval(saxon:evaluate($xpathstring)" mode="lama"/> </xsl:template>

but since you cannot apply-templates on atomic types, alternately (v2) ... <xsl:template match="context" mode="foo"> <xsl:param name="xpathstring" select="... some xpath string ... "/> <xsl:variable name="tmp" select="saxon:eval(saxon:evaluate($xpathstring)"/> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$tmp instance of xs:anyAtomicType"><xsl:value-of select="$tmp"/></xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise><xsl:apply-templates select="$tmp" mode="lama"/></xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </xsl:template>

Assuming mode="lama" has templates with appropriate matches for the different types.

Thanks,
ac
