I'm having difficulty figuring out how to perform something in XSLT
1.0. I want to be able to call a template at random points in an
XSLT document, and each time the template is called it outputs a
different version of a node.
Then pass a parameter value and trigger on the passed value.
Example:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:template match="/">
<output>
<xsl:call-template name="makenode"/>
<tagX>data</tagX>
<tagY>data</tagY>
<xsl:call-template name="makenode"/>
</output>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="makenode">
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="oddcalls()">
<tagA type="odd">data</tagA>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:when test="evencalls()">
<tagA type="even">data</tagA>
</xsl:when>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
You seem to be showing a binary testing requirement, so I've written
it as such:
<xsl:stylesheet>
<xsl:template match="/">
<output>
<xsl:call-template name="makenode">
<xsl:with-param name="param-name" select="true()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
<tagX>data</tagX>
<tagY>data</tagY>
<xsl:call-template name="makenode">
<xsl:with-param name="param-name" select="false()"/>
</xsl:call-template>
</output>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template name="makenode">
<xsl:param name="param-name"/>
<xsl:choose>
<xsl:when test="$param-name">
<tagA type="odd">data</tagA>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise>
<tagA type="even">data</tagA>
</xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:choose>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
Obviously variables and parameters can't be altered once declared,
and I can't think of a way of doing this with a recursive template.
Where does recursion come into your requirement?
I hope this helps.
