Re: Problem with Saxon 7.9.1 xsl:variable and selecting additional elements from variable value

Hi,


In this situation I can't see why you want to make a copy of the original
node. Why not just do:

 <xsl:variable name="thissection" select="../myns:section"/>
In the real environment I do something like:

<xsl:variable name="thissection" >
    <xsl:choose>
        <xsl:when test="../myns:section">
            <xsl:sequence select="../myns:section"/>
        </xsl:when>
        <xsl:when test="../../myns:section">
            <xsl:sequence select="../../myns:section"/>
        </xsl:when>
    </xsl:choose>
</xsl:variable>

with first checking where the matching node exists and then set a variable to this to access the subnodes of $thissection. So, is there is another way to set the original node to $thissection variable without the xsl:sequence?
