RE: How to xsl:apply-templates while xsl:copy-of?

Thanks Tomas,

The print.xsl transformation is generated from another source and the addInlineText value parameter may contain arbitrary html content. I have simplified the print.xsl template to its bare minimum to show my problem. In general there will be many calls to addInlineText with varying values.

My intent is to use the xhtml2fo.xsl template provided by www.antennahouse.com<http://www.antennahouse.com/> to process the XHTML to FO transformation of html:* nodes.

Hopes this clarify my original post.

Hi Gilbert,
I think it is not possible to match template against a parameter. Template can match only nodes in input XML. The desired effect you can get, if the "addInlineText" template will call template "html:p" with some parameter.

<xsl:call-template name="etc">
  <xsl:param name="param1" select="$value" />
</xsl:call-template>

Apply template calls are very similiar to call-template calls.

But in general, I don't see what are you trying to achieve.

Hi,

I'm using xalan-2.7.0 (the same applies to version 2.7.1) and I'd like the transform to apply-templates while copying a set of nodes from the template into the result document.

I have attached the print.xsl template. Look at line 18 of print.xsl for the template "addInlineText" declaration and at line 10 for its call. At line 21, how to apply-templates while copying the template parameter?

In other words, I'd like the template that match "html:p" to be applied when the template "addField" is called with the parameter "value" with a set of node as value.

Is it possible to do it with XSLT 1.0? I'd like to avoid a second pass to apply the html:* templates.

Thanks,
Alain Gilbert
