Re: Re: Re: EXSL's dyn:evaluate() and XALAN vs. xsl:use-attribute-sets

A simple example: Why not include an top-level element belonging to a
non-xsl
namespace and having the necessary attributes. Then you can just copy
them.


I thought about that but I don't think that this is an solution. Right!
I
could dynamically
decide depending on a parameter to do something - in case of copy: copy
some
xml to the
current position. But this won't fix my problem as I'm working with fo
and
I
need exactly
the behaviour of the use-attribute-sets parameter which creates
attributes
from a XML-fragment.

Now I thought about using call-template but it has the same limitation:
The
name must be
qname :-/

Then you'll gradually find that the same effect can be achieved with
xsl:apply-templates

For details see:

I really doubt that in this concrete case you really need so much power,
as
I have not seen your source xml document and do not know what the
transformation must do.


I think I with Michaels and your hints, I got it!

on every occurence of the relevant attribute, I'm caling a Template with the
value of the attribute. The called template decides with a switch-case like
structure 
what attributes to create:

The called template looks like that.

    <xsl:template name="definitions">
                <xsl:param name="selector"/>
            <xsl:choose >
                    <xsl:when test="$selector='test1'">
                                    <xsl:attribute 
name="font-family">sans-serif</xsl:attribute>
                                    <xsl:attribute 
name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
                    </xsl:when>
                    <xsl:when test="$selector='spacer1#">
                                    <xsl:attribute 
name="font-family">sans-serif</xsl:attribute>
                                    <xsl:attribute 
name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
                    </xsl:when>
               </xsl:choose>            
   </xsl:template>


Thanks for your help!
