Is this possible in xslt-1.0?
Given the following input, I want to transform the output such that I get
only the fields of each record which I specify in the headers element. I
want the order to also be the order in which they appear in the headers
element. So if headers looks like:
<headers>
<year/> <artist/>
</headers>
then I want each record in the output to only contain the year and artist
fields, in that order.
I can't seem to write an xPath expression for this kind of transform because
xPath node tests cannot contain variables. The expression would need to look
something like "/cds/cd/$field", where $field would contain the name of one
of the nodes listen in /headers (see xml below).
Thanx for any suggestions...
