ie.. instead of having the following <if test> syntax
all through my multiple xslt files:
<xsl:if test="ACCTTYPE = 'AAA' or
ACCTTYPE = 'BBB' or
ACCTTYPE = 'CCC' or
ACCTTYPE = 'DDD' or
ACCTTYPE = 'EEE'">
I am curious if there is a way to define this once in
a common xslt file which is then imported into my many
xslt files, so if new types are added or removed, it
only has to be changed once?
It's easy if you use the xx:node-set() extension.
Declare a global variable:
<xsl:variable name="lookup">
<key>AAA</key>
<key>BBB</key>
<key>CCC</key>
</xsl:variable>
then <xsl:if test="ACCTTYPE = xx:node-set($lookup)/key".
If you don't want to use the extension function you can access the
lookup table by putting it in a separate XML document.
