Re: Managing XSLTS for XSLFO - Shared templates and a

This works great, just as long as you don't want to share templates. Unfortunately, I am going to need to share some of those templates in the future, but the attributes used may be different (obviously, these attributes are defining styling).

what do you mean by "share" here (call them from two different places,
by call-template or apply-tempates?)

Personally I'd lose the  inflexible attribute set syntax and replace it
by a variable (or named template if you need to be more dynamic)

instead of

<xsl:attribute-set name="title-style">
  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">12pt</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>

have

<xsl:template name="title-style">
  <xsl:attribute name="font-size">12pt</xsl:attribute>
  <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>

then instead of

<foo xsl:use-attribute-sets="title-style">

use

<foo>
<xsl:call-template name="title-style"/>

which has the advantage that you can wrap the call-template in
conditional code, or parameterise it, or make its result depend on the
current context, as required.
