Re: Exsl functions in xslt 2

2004-01-19 09:27:02

  I tried this but of course got problems with data typing.  I tried
  having a stylesheet with version="2.0" import a stylesheet with
  version="1.0" and vice versa, but both produced the same set of errors
  (with Saxon 7.8).


Don't blame me:-)

seriously, You could consider making a comment to the official xslt2
comment list outlining where backward compatibility isn't compatible
enough. I'm sure real examples are helpful to them at this stage.


....but msxml4 complains about the 'xs:' namespace.
You could define javascript  xs:integer() and xs:string () in the xs
namespace using msxsl:script

But actually don't the xpath 1 (and 2) functions number() and string()
avoid these errors:

  Required type of first argument of format-number() is number; supplied
  value has type xs:string

  and

  Required type of first argument of concat() is xs:string; supplied
  value has type xs:integer

so you could use number() rather than xs:integer and it should work in
xslt1 shouldn't it?
