Hi, Mike,
Not that I know of . Perhaps some processor somewhere has an extension
function for that kind of thing, or you could write your own, of course.
Personally, I'd just use a script of some sort.

RE: [xsl] dynamic variable name/implementation question
It is possible to do that without having to manually trigger the process
of both, or to have to write a program in another language to do that?
IOW, can an XSLT processor generate and XSLT file and then launch
another transform recursively?

Hi, Ed,
One way to do that is to write a stylesheet that writes a stylesheet.
The first stylesheet reads the XML file and determines the names of the
parameters. Then it writes a second stylesheet that has the necessary
parameter declarations. Then you run the second stylesheet to get your
output.

[xsl] dynamic variable name/implementation question
Hi-
I'm trying to find a workaround or alternate implementation for a
particular problem I'm tring to solve. I have various parameters that
are passed into the processor, and I would like to use their values in
the stylesheet. However, I've found that XSLT 1.0 does not support
dynamic variables.
I would like to do the following:
XML:
...
<text-block>
this is some text. Folowing is dynamic- <external-value
parameter="someParam"/> -preceding was dynamic
</text-block>
...
XSL:
...
<xsl:template match="external-vaue">
<xsl:value-of select="$(_at_)parameter"/> <!-- this won't work -->
</xsl:template>
...
where there is a parameter "someParam" passed into the stylesheet - say
someParam="foo". My output would be:
...
this is some text. Folowing is dynamic- foo -preceding was dynamic
...
Has anybody else ever needed this fuctionality?
