Re: Inserting the value of a variable in a result-doc

Thanks for the advice on the document. I'll implement that part. The
reason I'm doing it with a named template is that this is part of a
larger transformation in which new files are created based on
realtionships in other files. IE, the file and insertion string will
change each time. Sorry but looking back my original example doesn't
really get that across. It would have been more correct to have
something like:

<xsl:call-template name="insert_node">
<xsl:with-param name="myNode" select="$Node"/>
<xsl:with-param name="myInputDoc" select="document($File)"/> <!--
Thanks David -->
<xsl:with-param name="myResultsFile" select="$newFile"/>
</xsl:call-template>

Where the various variables are based on conditions the call-template
is wrapped in.

don't do

(which forces the system to (act as if it had to) generate a temporary
tree with a new document node with a text node child, which is expensive
to build if all you are going to do is coerce back to a string, instead
do

<xsl:with-param name="myInputDoc" select="'file:///c:/test.xml'"/>

or just pass in the document rather than a string

<xsl:with-param name="myInputDoc" select="doc('file:///c:/test.xml')"/>

I wouldn't use named templates at all for this, just have an identity
template

<xsl:template match="*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

and a template for insert that inserts stuff:

<xsl:template match="insert">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
<xsl:text>the new insert</xsl:text>
</xsl:template>
