Now the questions is, is xsl:template name= ...
able to do something, which xsl:function cannot do?
Depends what you count as "able to do something". For example, a named
template can declare default values for parameters. Does that count?
Please consider the below example:
...
<xsl:function name="xx:dummy-func" as="node()+">
<dummy-content/>
</xsl:function>
<xsl:template name="dummy-template">
<dummy-content/>
</xsl:template>
I am calling a named template, using xsl:call-template. The
output of this stylesheet is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<result xmlns:xx="http://dummy-ns";>
<dummy-content/>
</result>
Can we do a similar thing using xsl:function?
Yes, you can:
<xsl:template match="/">
<result>
<xsl:sequence select="xx:dummy-func()"/>
</result>
</xsl:template>
