Re: [xsl] <xsl:apply-imports/> with select attribute

Hi Micheal,

What would you want this construct to actually do?

My use case is as follows: I’ve got a master template, in which the template 
@match="/" contains a <xsl:for-each/> over a collection(). Inside the loop I 
would like to call templates from imported stylesheets, that are designed to 
handle single documents. Additionally they haven’t be designed to run together 
with other templates, so they contain no @mode attribute on their template 
@match="/".

This way the calls to <xsl:apply-templates select=".“/> (where . is a document 
node from the collection) doesn’t match the root template of the imported 
stylesheet, but the root template of the master stylesheet, which causes a 
unwanted loop. 

I’m just looking for a way to be able to give the imported stylesheets a higher 
priority when I’m looping to a collection of files.

Best,
Christian

apply-imports means "process the current node using the template that would 
have matched if this one didn't". It's hard to see what that could mean when 
processing a different node, i.e. one that doesn't necessarily match the 
current template rule.

Hi list,
is there a way (in XSLT 2.0) to get a mix of <xsl:apply-templates 
select="document($file)“/> and <xsl:apply-imports/>? Something like 
<xsl:apply-imports select="document($file)“/>
This doesn’t seem to be valid but would be very useful…


Best,
Christian
