The variable being passed by the command line is the same thing as far as
the XSLT processor in concerned. There are some work arounds to this issue
that you may find useful. Heres one...
<xsl:param name="keyword"/>
<xsl:key name="keywordMatch" match="foo" use="@bar"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:for-each select="//foo/bar">
<xsl:for-each select="key(keywordMatch, $keyword)">
...
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>
Best of luck...

Subject: [xsl] parameter use in XPath
Hello,
Is it possible to use the parameter "keyword" (line 1) in
XPath expressions (lines 5, 13, and 27) in the following stylesheet
without the use of specific processor extensions?
I know one may not use variables set by the stylesheet in
XPath expressions, but $keyword is passed from the command line
and thus not computed or set by the stylesheet.
Many thanks in advance,
Saverio
