I believe I need to specify type string on the parameter
that receives
the string, and then perform another operation on that.
I'm sure I'm
missing something obvious here...
The operation of making a node set out of a string is that of
an XML parser. This isn't a standard XSLT2 feature, however
"all" existing XSLT2 engines offer an extension function that
provides an XML parser at run time.
For "the rest", if they support (or can be made to support by
supplying a suitable entity resolver) the data: uri scheme you can use
select="document('data:text/xml,<foo><bar/></foo>')
ie
select="document(concat('data:text/xml,',$param))"
Thanks David,
Not that obvious then :)
cheers
