Yes, if you mean to assign the value to a variable which is declared in the
stylesheet with <xsl:variable>. No, if you mean to create the variable
on-the-fly and assign a value to it. As has often been noted here, the variable
must exist at compile time, there is no <xsl:evaluate> element.
<xsl:variable name="moe-larry-curly"
select="xpath/expression/to/element/or/attribute" />

Subject: [xsl] Extracting values from the XML data source
Dear XML'ers,
Is it possible to extract a value from the xml data and place it into a
stylesheet variable at the time of processing ?
My reason for needing to do this is that I would like to restrict the number
of 'rows' returned by the style sheet dynamically.
Cheers,
Charlie
