xpath string dynamically
> Hi,
> I am trying to use XSLT to transform a set of XML files, each type with
> its own set of nodes, into a legacy file format. It is best if the XSLT
> was generic. I've tried to reference a second XML file that contains the
> transformation rules. This second XML file contains the relative XPath
> expression for each element in the source XML file and the target location
> in the legacy file format. I get the relative XPath string from the second
> XML file into a parameter, but when I try to use that parameter in a XSLT
> value-of element, it outputs the relative XPath string rather than the
> contents of that node in the source XML file.

> Does anyone know how to output the contents of an element node in a source
> XML file using a XPath string read in from another XML file?
> Thanks.
