Re: [xsl] output the result of the transformation twice, indented and not indented, without duplicating the code

Martin, I would suggest a slight change to your code:

  <xsl:next-match/>

... rather than:

  <xsl:apply-templates/>

... and when the heavy-lifting code is not being imported, then put a priority="1000" on the suggested match.

That will allow Wolfhart's stylesheet also to support a template rule for the root node.

I'm not sure such would be obvious to a new user, so I thought I would mention it for the archives.

I hope this helps.

Dear list,

I have an XSL stylesheet that produces a large XML document. I would
like to output the XML document twice, once indented (for human
readability) and once not indented (for faster access by other
scripts). I am wondering whether this can be done from within a single
stylesheet.

In order to achieve what I want, I could, of course, produce two
versions of the stylesheet, one with <xsl:output indent="yes"/> and
the other with <xsl:output indent="no"/>, and then run them
consecutively. The disadvantage of doing that would be that, if I
later want to change the stylesheet, I would have to make the changes
twice, which, apart from the additional effort, would be a possible
source of errors.

I guess that I could achieve what I want from within a single
stylesheet with <xsl:result-document>. But in that case, if I
understand correctly, I would have to copy the entire code of the
stylesheet into <xsl:result-document>. So the code would, again, be
duplicated.

So my question is this: Is there a way to obtain the two versions of
the XML document (indented and not indented) without duplicating the
code?


Doesn't

  <xsl:template match="/">

     <xsl:result-document href="result1.xml" indent="no">

        <xsl:apply-templates/>

    </xsl:result-document>

    <xsl:result-document href="result2.xml" indent="yes">

      <xsl:apply-templates/>

   </xsl:result-document>

</xsl:template>

...


where ... is your original code (you could also xsl:import it) do what
you want?
