You can achieve what you want with attribute value templates
<elem attr="{expr}">
but it seems to me like a peculiar design. It seems to miss the whole point
of what stylesheets are for.

Subject: [xsl] [xsl fo] xsl to a minimum / statements 'on the fly'
(expecting my first mail didn't reach the list, apologizing
if this is the
second mail with the same question)
Hi all,
I'm rendering pdf's with fop and I would like to keep all my
lines/files of
xsl to a minimum.
This means I put a lot of formatting information in my xml
file, something
like this:
<reportXML page-layout="portrait">
<title> Hello world </title>
<table table-layout="fixed">
<tr background-color="#CCCCCC">
<td width="10cm"
<block align="left">hello again</block>
</td>
</tr>
...
Trying to keep xsl to a minimum also means it won't include
hard-coded lines
like:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="portrait">
My fo-statements (try to) use elements from the input xml,
something like
this:
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="<xsl:value-of
select="$page_layout"/>">
As expectd, his statement won't work.
How to accomplisch this?
ps what (technically) works, is:
<xsl:if test="@page-layout='portrait'">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="portrait">
<xsl:call-template
name="continue"></xsl:call-template>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:if>
<xsl:if test="@page-layout='landscape'">
<fo:page-sequence master-reference="landscape">
<xsl:call-template
name="continue"></xsl:call-template>
</fo:page-sequence>
</xsl:if>
But this will overload my xsl file with if-statements (difficult to
maintain)
because I have to use this mechanism a lot.
Thanks in advance,
mathieu van echtelt
