RE: question about import/include

Just tried it in saxon 6.5.2 from the command line, and in both cases it 
results in (which is, again, not what I expected):
<p class="categoryBody">This is a test.
This is only a test.d</p>

Subject: [xsl] question about import/include


I have the following stylesheet with a named template called 
"convert_linefeeds" which converts CRLF's to new paragraphs of html. It works 
fine when the named template is part of the stylesheet. However, I want to 
reuse it in other places but when using import/include the template doesn't 
work.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:call-template name="convert_linefeeds">
                <xsl:with-param name="input" select="//desc" />
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

<!-- Adapted from XSLT Cookbook, First Editiion by Sal Mangano page 13 -->
<xsl:template name="convert_linefeeds">
        <xsl:param name="input" />
        
        <xsl:choose>
                <!-- see if the input contains the search string -->
                <xsl:when test="contains($input, '&#13;&#10;')">
                        <!-- if so, then contatenate the substring before the 
search string
                                 to the replacement string and to the result of 
recursively applying
                                 this template to the remaining substring -->
                        <p class="categoryBody">
                                <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($input, 
'&#13;&#10;')" />a
                        </p>
                        <xsl:call-template name="convert_linefeeds">
                                <xsl:with-param name="input" 
select="substring-after($input, '&#13;&#10;')" />
                        </xsl:call-template>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                        <!-- no more occurences of the search string so, just 
return the current input string -->
                        <p class="categoryBody">
                                <xsl:value-of select="$input" />b
                        </p>
                </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


This is a sample document that it works with.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<root>
        <desc>This is a test.
        This is only a test.</desc>
</root>


The result (which is what I expect):
<p class="categoryBody">This is a test.a</p>
<p class="categoryBody">This is only a test.b</p>

That works fine. But, I want to use the convert_linefeeds template in several 
other templates, so I break it out into a separate file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" />

<!-- Adapted from XSLT Cookbook, First Editiion by Sal Mangano page 13 -->
<xsl:template name="convert_linefeeds">
        <xsl:param name="input" />
        
        <xsl:choose>
                <!-- see if the input contains the search string -->
                <xsl:when test="contains($input, '&#13;&#10;')">
                        <!-- if so, then contatenate the substring before the 
search string
                                 to the replacement string and to the result of 
recursively applying
                                 this template to the remaining substring -->
                        <p class="categoryBody">
                                <xsl:value-of select="substring-before($input, 
'&#13;&#10;')" />c
                        </p>
                        <xsl:call-template name="convert_linefeeds">
                                <xsl:with-param name="input" 
select="substring-after($input, '&#13;&#10;')" />
                        </xsl:call-template>
                </xsl:when>
                <xsl:otherwise>
                        <!-- no more occurences of the search string so, just 
return the current input string -->
                        <p class="categoryBody">
                                <xsl:value-of select="$input" />d
                        </p>
                </xsl:otherwise>
        </xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


And include it in a new stylesheet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:include href="convert_linefeeds.xsl" />
<xsl:output method="html" encoding="UTF-8" />

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:call-template name="convert_linefeeds">
                <xsl:with-param name="input" select="//desc" />
        </xsl:call-template>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>


Results in (missing </p><p> tags):
<p class="categoryBody">This is a test.
This is only a test.d</p>


It doesn't error out, but the output isn't wrapped in <p></p> as I expect. 
Using MSXML 4.0 for this. (Incidentally, it does appear to work using a PI in 
the browser, but not from ASP or the msxsl command line. That would seem to 
indicate an MSXML problem I think.)
