[re-sending - initial one didn't make it to the list…?]
Hello,
I'm using XSLT2.
I need to construct a complex string in a variable. I wanted to use XSLT
instructions for this, not pure XPath. I'm struggling with coercing the result
of the <xsl:variable> body to a single xs:string, not a sequence of xs:string:
<xsl:variable name="var" as="xs:string">
<xsl:text>prefix</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="'part1'"/>
<!-- follows more complex code producing further fragments of desired result
string -->
</xsl:variable>
This gives me the error message (Saxon HE 9): "A sequence of more than one item
is not allowed as the value of variable $var ("prefix", "part1")"
Of course, I could declare the variable as xs:string+ and then use string-join(
$var, '' ) on every use of $var, or create another variable that holds the
concatenated result of $var.
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
Christian
