Hi All
I'm trying to take a very large XSL with multiple sections and split it into
several smaller xsl's that can be combined in any order. Its transforming XML
to HTML for job ticket. Because of the nature of the doc it uses pull
processing: basically and HTML page with lots of xsl:value-of, etc.
The full XSL has
Header
Sect 1
Sect 2
Sect 3
Sect 4
Footer
Some user want to see
Header
Sect1
Sect2
Footer
Others Want to see
Header
Sect4
Footer
Etc.
Essentially each section is a fragment of HTML with xsl processing instructions.
Sect 4, for example, may be raw materials:
<table>
<xsl:for-each select="material">
<tr>
<td><xsl-value-of
select="name"/></td>
</tr>
</table>
That's a really over-simplified example, as that could easily be done
apply-templates and a match on materials, which could easily be included. In
reality, each section relies on variables setup elsewhere in doc, and has to
get data from many different locations.
I could make umpteen copies and easily cut out the bits I don't want, but then
if the header changes I need to edit umpteen XSL's
What I really want to do is have "shell" XSL that combines the relevant bits
Include header
Include sect 1
Include Sect 4
Include footer
The big problem I see is that the header will have the <html> and <body> tags
and footer needs to have the </body> and </html> tags so neither the header of
footer could be valid xml, xsl, etc. (I know I could use > and disable
output escaping)
Is there any way to do this?
Regards
mark
