I've been away from XSLT a while and am stumbling on how to implement
the following:
My transform imports, using document(), an HTML snippet contain a
populated <head></head> tag. I want to copy this into one of several
result trees I am outputting as is *except* the <title/> tag needs to
be populated with a value.
Initially I created a named template and sent the loaded node-set to it,
then realised I probably needed an identity transform but all of the
identity transform examples I've found seem to be set-up to operate on
the master document only. What's the best way to carry out this task?
Can I do an identity transform with a named template?
I'm sure there's a fairly simple solution but it's passing me by.
Create the new <head> by using a mode, and store it in a variable to
make it easy to copy to all of the places that its needed:
<xsl:variable name="newHead">
<xsl:apply-templates select="doc('head.xml')" mode="processHead"/>
</
<xsl:template match="@*|node()" mode="processHead">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" mode="processHead"/>
</
</
<xsl:template match="title" mode="processHead">
<title>My new title</title>
</
and then just copy it where you need it eg:
<xsl:copy-of select="$newHead"/>
