I'm sorta new to xslt and I am curious about this xx:evaluate
thing. I
looked for how to use it for several hours today (and your
name came up
quite a bit Michael) and couldn't make sense of it. Would
you mind posting
a short xslt that uses it? (Including the xsl:stylesheet element)
Try this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:saxon="http://icl.com/saxon"
version="1.0">
<xsl:param name="op" select="'+'"/>
<xsl:variable name="expression"
select="concat('5 ', $op, ' 2')"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<result
question="{$expression}"
answer="{saxon:evaluate($expression)}"/>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Now run it with Saxon 6.5.2:
java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet test.xml test.xsl op=div
or
java com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet test.xml test.xsl op=*
Hope that helps.
