Subject: [xsl] Transformation with XSLT & XML In Same File
Date: Wed, 28 Jan 2004 14:54:30 +0100
Dear All
Before any one asks, why would you ever want to do such a thing, I am sort
of forced into.
Anyways a have one document with the xml definition at the beginning of the
document and xslt at the end (or vice versa is possible). I would like to
transform the xml.
Do any of the transformers support such a funny set up, or am I going to
have to split up the files some way.
thanks
kent
For a completely xml solution your file would have to be well formed, not
simply an xml file then an xslt file. I do something similar with xslt when
I cannot use the document function to access external documents. I have an
xslt file that doees the transform and I have a child of the stylesheet
element called 'source' with a declared namespace prefix, eg.g joe:source.
This element contains the xml file. Then use document('')/*/joe:source/* as
the xpath in a variable element to give me the document element of my xml
file.
