I worked on a similar implementation for calling SQL stored procedures. To do that I had to support mutiple output parameters as well as multiple inputs. I think this is useful functionality to have in general... First, using unabbreviated form and seriously pumping up xsl:call-template syntax (I am sorry to admit that I lost track of whether the function proposal is still being considered on top of xsl:call-template, or as a separate entity) <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:bound-variable name="ret"/> <xsl:call-function name="f"> <xsl:with-param name="input1">5</xsl:with-param> <xsl:bind-output-variable name="output1" bound-name="r"/> </xsl:call-function> <xsl:value-of select="$ret"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:function name="f"> <xsl:param name="input1"/> <xsl:output-variable name="output1"> <xsl:value-of select="$input1"/> </xsl:output-variable> </xsl:template> I'm sure better naming conventions could be chosen, but I hope the idea is clear. In abbreviated form, someone suggested var := value syntax for input parameters; I think this is a great idea, and for output parameters, var =: bound-name makes sense... xf:call('f', 'input1 := 5', 'ret =: output1') For return value, in my simple case (SQL cannot return nodesets), I just took one of the output variables and said I'll use it as return value (another , but I don't have a preference on how to do it... Just a thought. - Eugene XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
