In XSLT 1.0 your only option is to capture the tree fragment created by the
template in a variable using
<xsl:variable>
<xsl:call-template/>
</xsl:variable>
XSLT 2.0 provides functions as an alternative to named templates. You can
call stylesheet functions from XPath, enabling:
<xsl:function name="f">...</xsl:function>
<xsl:variable name="v" select="f(....)"/>

Subject: [xsl] How to return values from sub-template?
Sorry for this newbie question but I didn't found a hint in
tutorials on how to return
back parameter values from sub-templates. Assume the
following situation.
I want to pass back the boolean (or other values in other
scenarios) value if the attribute "age"
exists in a node "myelement" with the attribute name="karl".
Yes, I know, THIS sample could be coded easier within
one template but my sample is only a simplified version for a
complex scenario
where two templates are required.
Again, how can I access the value of the variable myval from
the calling template?
Thank you
Matt
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:call-template name="subtemp">
<xsl:with-param name="parm" select="//myelement[(_at_)name =
'karl']" />
</xsl:call-template>
Age exists=<xsl:value-of select="$myval" /> <!-- does not work -->
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="subtemp">
<xsl:param name="parm" />
Hello
<xsl:variable name="myval" select="exist(@age)" />
return $myval
</xsl:template>
