Put common code in a module L; import this from separate modules A, B, C...
that define the templates that are different. Run the transformation by
invoking A, B, or C as appropriate. If code is used in stylesheets A and B
but not in C, you can put the template in the common module L and override
it in C: the version in C will be used in preference to the version in L.

Subject: [xsl] similar stylesheets
I have a single type of (rather complex) input document that gets
transformed into a number of different output documents (but
not all at
the same time). So I have a collection of different
stylesheets that all
have the same basic structure (based on the structure of the input
document of course) -- the same match templates, etc. Then within that
structure, each stylesheet has its own particular output content.
My question is: Are there any tricks or conventions that people use in
this kind of situation to avoid the duplication of the
structure of each
stylesheet? For example, if I want to pick up some portion of
the input
doc that I've not dealt with before, I have to make identical
changes in
each stylesheet. Ugly.
Thanks,
Lee
