No, you cannot do this. You would need something like the javascript "eval" function in order for the XSLT processor to evaluate the text as a template. XSLT does not have a runtime way of executing generated code. I don't know if XSLT2 provides some facility in this area. You can, however, generate a transform and then execute that in a second pass on a document. You can also make your actual templates more dependent on passed params in order to provide more dynamic behaviour. rich -----Original Message----- From: owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:owner-xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Bennett Sent: Monday, October 20, 2003 10:43 AM To: xsl-list-digest@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Apply Templates question Hello, Is there a way to apply a template stored in a variable or param? Example, In my test stylesheet, I currently have: ... <xsl:param name="template" select="'default'"/> <xsl:param name="testTemplate"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('')/*"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xsl:template[@name = '$template']"> <xsl:param name="testTemplate"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:param> </xsl:template> <xsl:template name="default"> Made it to test.xsl - default template </xsl:template> ... Which will allow a template to be selected based on a param but I'm not sure how to apply the template that gets stored in "testTemplate" (Or rather, how to apply the selected template once it's been matched by xsl:template[@name= '$template']) Does anyone know where to go from here or have alternate suggestions?
