In answer to your subject's question: you cannot convert strings to node lists unless you use an extension function like saxon:evaluate. However, you can select elements that have the same name as the string. For example: <xsl:value-of select="*[local-name() = $b_level_total]" /> One problem that you might be experiencing is that you seem to be testing whether the value of $category is equal to the *value* of TDES, SUB-TOTAL and TOTAL elements, whereas I think you want to test whether it's equal to the strings 'TDES', 'SUB-TOTAL' or 'TOTAL', i.e.: <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$category='TDES'"> <xsl:value-of select="TDES"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$category='SUB-TOTAL'"> SUB-TOTAL </xsl:when> <xsl:when test="$category='TOTAL'"> TOTAL </xsl:when> </xsl:choose> Also, where you're inserting the colour that you're passing as a parameter, remember that you need to use attribute value templates to put the value of the parameter into the value of the attribute, i.e.: <fo:block font-size="6pt" color="{$bcolor}" text-align="center"> <xsl:value-of select="*[local-name() = $b_level_total]/CNT"/> </fo:block> I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
