apply template with variable

[Philipp Kraus]

Hello,

I have got a problem with a query, that is passend by a parameter.
See this two templates


<xsl:call-template name="section">
<xsl:with-param name="query">
<xsl:value-of select="sectiondef[@kind='public-func']"/>
</xsl:with-param>
</xsl:call-template>


<xsl:template name="section">
<xsl:param name="query" required="yes"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="sectiondef[@kind='public-func']">
<xsl:sort select="name"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

do other things
</xsl:template>

I have set up the query on the second template equal / fixed, this
works, if I now
subsitute the select query on apply to

<xsl:template name="section">
<xsl:param name="query" required="yes"/>
<xsl:apply-templates select="$query">
<xsl:sort select="name"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

do other things
</xsl:template>

The apply results 0 nodes and this does not work anymore. So I would
push a query to the template and call in the template an apply with
this query.

Thanks

Phil

I think you simply want to use the "select" attribute of "with-param", as in
<xsl:with-param name="query"

select="sectiondef[@kind='public-func']"/>

Then the below template should work.

But seeing all those named template being called with parameters I
wonder whether you could not simply use template matching, perhaps with
modes instead, to leverage the power of XSLT.

Thanks for your answer, I will test it.
The solution is, that I use the call name, that I mixed up matching &
calling templates. I'm using XSLT for creating a plain text output
and I have created the name-matching templates for structures that are
always used like function in other languages eg
the calling templates generates a header
--- my header ---
and the matching templates fills the section, in this case the section
templates creates the full plaintext section (header + content)

Thanks with the select call it works
