The stylesheet works, but the XPath expressions bother me. I
would like to declare this XPath once:
@* | * | comment() | processing-instruction() | text()
and refer to it elsewhere. I tried to make it a variable, but it
doesn't seem to work.
You can use XML entities for this. They are resolved
when the stylesheet is parsed as XML. For example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [
<!ENTITY foo "note/para[1] | important/para[1] | warning/para[1] |
caution/para[ 1] |tip/para[1]">
]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Format";
version="1.0">
<xsl:template match="&foo;">
