I am sorry Joe.
My example was too simple to
give an idea of my exact need.
Decision about an element
doesn't depend only on the
condition of being in the 10
first, but is dealing with
several conditions, global
ones and local ones. Sometime
decision to take is not about
an element but about a string
in a text node.
So far I am not able to write
those conditions in the select
of an apply-templates and that
is why I was thinking of using
with-param to apply templates
on children.
But David just gave a strong
argument that give me small
chance to find a solution
based on that idea.

Subject: [xsl] recursivity
and param
Date: Thu, 12 Aug 2004

I would like to use
recursivity through the source
document with XSLT
1.0 and no extension.
As far as I understood, when
I am at a node level, I have a
context
that I can pass to children
level using with-param. But
what I would
like to obtain is to catch
things from children treatment
to influence
the context of the node
level: when I pass context to
a certain
child I would like to take in
account things that happened
before while
processing children I met
before (in order of source
document for example).
Reading again that question
make me think that it is maybe
not clear
enough.
Let's try an example.
- Suppose that in source tree
we have some <to-copy-element
/> elements
- Suppose that I just want my
XSLTransformation to copy to
the result tree
the <to-copy-element /> from
the source tree.
- Suppose that I add a
condition that I must not copy
more than 10
<to-copy-element />. In other
words I want to copy only the
first (in order
of source document) 10
<to-copy-element /> elements
or all the
<to-copy-element /> elements
if
count(//to-copy-element)<11.
I think (but this is maybe a
wrong hypothesis) that at a
given node
level,
I
have to pass to a child
information about the number
of copies done with
children processed before.
Any ideas ?
Xavier
Is there any reason you can't
select using a position
predicate? xsl:apply-templates
select="to-copy-elements[posit
ion() < 11]"...
