I need to write a stylesheet which dynamically alters the value of a
globally scoped variable.
Hi,
To keep it short: that is impossible.
I have quite a hard time trying to understand from your description what
exactly your requirements are, so it would be a big help if you could more
precisely describe what you are after...
Some thoughts come to mind:
<snip />
2. Create a range variable with a sequence of values. From reading the
specs this seemed promising. Here's an example of how this might work:
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:value-of select="for $i in (1 to 10) return (ex:print())"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function ex:print">
<xsl:value-of select="$i"/>
</xsl:function>
If it's something this simple, why not do for instance:
<xsl:variable name="i" select="document('vars.xml')/*/number[. > 0 and .
<= 10]" />
Where the document vars.xml consists of nodes representing numbers, then
have a template matching them
<xsl:apply-templates select="$i" />
...
<xsl:template match="number">
<xsl:value-of select="." />
</xsl:template>
Hope this gives you an idea...
Cheers,
Andreas
