Hi.
Kevin, I've done something like what you want to do using the document
function and xpaths. I agree with Andrew's suggestion about not relying
on document order to associate key/value pairs, but we have values that
can contain elements so we use something more like:
<map>
<key name="1">value of name 1</key>
<key name="7">value of name 7</key>
</map>
That's in a separate file from the xsl (say map.xml).
Then in the xsl you can use:
<xsl:variable name="map" select="document('map.xml')"/>
To get then value for 1 you can use:
<xsl:value-of select="$map//key[(_at_)name='1']/>
Andrew would your xsl:key solution apply to this? If so how?
Sure, define the key:
<xsl:key name="mappings" match="key" use="@name"/>
then:
<xsl:for-each select="$map">
<xsl:value-of select="key('mappings', '1')"/>
</xsl:for-each>
