Bruce,
At 01:09 PM 8/26/2004, you wrote:
The configuration file would be an xml file with this root element:
<citationstyle class="author-year">
I suppose there could be some other non-xsl programming magic to choose
the right stylesheet if the benefits of the approach are so large that it
more than offsets the loss of ease-of-use, but I really do like the idea
of users just being able to do this:
java net.sf.saxon.Transform -o test.xhtml test.xml ../dbng.xsl
citation-style=aag
.... where dbng.xsl is just importing the single stylesheet.
I guess I just don't see why this is easier or nicer than
java net.sf.saxon.Transform -o test.xhtml test.xml ../dbng-aag.xsl
... or than wrapping the whole thing into a shell script or batch file or
whatever to do the delegation.
Yet on the other hand, if you're determined a run-time parameter is what's
called for, Mike has just suggested that some XSLT 2.0 processors, at
least, will be able to do an xsl:import conditionally.
Cheers,
Wendell
