Unfortunately you can not use variables in match patterns in xslt1
(this restriction will be lifted in XSLT2)
However this is not really a restriction just an inconvience.
You can have
<xsl:stylesheet.......>
<xsl:param name="chap"/>
so then you can set name="chapter1" on the command line of xalan or in
its java API.
You can not do
<xsl:template match="manual/chapter[(_at_)name=$chap]">
but you can do
<xsl:template match="manual/chapter">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="@name=$chap">
do something with the special chapter
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
do something (or nothing) with other chapters
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
