Thank you for this, it has given me the inspiration I needed. After a short
nap I was able to build on it and came up with:
<xsl:template match='target/*' mode='parameters'>
<xsl:param name='caption'/>
<xsl:variable name='name' select='name()'/>
<xsl:value-of select='$caption/*[name()=$name]/@value'/>
</xsl:template>
A bit of sleep does wonders, doesn't it?
Personally I cultivate an aversion to name testing in XSLT, and avoid it
whenever possible; but here it makes sense -- you're working on a
meta-level up, as it were.
For production use I might include a bit of exception-catching -- a value
to be output if my caption has no appropriate element. As it is, this could
fail silently just from a typo.
Let us know what you come up with tonight.... :->
Cheers,
Wendell
