Try creating multiple entry points to your stylesheet, either as named
templates or as named modes, and invoking the transformation using -it
(initial template) or -im (initial mode). The secondary entry point might do
something as simple as displaying the content of a global variable.

Subject: [xsl] Conditional Execution in XSLT 2.0
Hi,
I'm currently writing my content in XML, while at the same
time writing XSLT to transform this content into a written
manual. The problem is that sometimes I just want to quickly
print out part of my document using XSL-FO to PDF.
For example, what if I just quickly want to build the table
of contents, of if I just want to get certain element types,
sometimes only the structure of my XML, sometimes just the
images. Things like that.
Currently I'm commenting out parts of the XSLT, but there
must be a better way. Should I split my XSLT into different
libraries and conditionally include them based on parameters,
or should I try and set variables throughout the doc using
things such as visible/invisible? is there a tried and tested
way when working with ever changing XML and XSLT while still
creating and building the content and transformations?
What I just had to do as an example, was to comment out my "body text"
templates and "list templates" and "image" templates" etc,
just so I could print out the document structure without any
content. Am I being stupid here?
Best,
Jacobus
