Hi, all...
I've got a PDF customization template that gets called maybe a couple of dozen
times during the processing of a DITA bookmap. It has the following code in it:
<xsl:variable name="topicChapters">
<xsl:copy-of select="$map//*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/chapter
')]
union $map//*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/appendix ')]
union $map//*[contains(@class, ' bookmap/preface ')]"/>
</xsl:variable>
This code will have to scan a good deal of the XML tree document represents the
book. The
document will not change between each execution of the template.
Will Saxon optimize/cache this and not calculate it each time? I can always set
this variable in a parent template (that executes only once) and pass it into
this one. For readability however, it makes more sense to have this variable
where it is.
Thanks
Steve
