I was wondering if is possible that one xslt file makes different transformations depending on some input parameters.

For instance, my xslt file makes different transformations depending on a <xsl:if> condition.
If I want to make 5 different kinds of transformations I need 5 different xslt files which only differ in only line of code(the if condition).

Any ideas?


Tomi.

Yes, you can declare parameters using <xsl:param> as a child of the <xsl:stylesheet> element. The way you supply parameter values at run time depends on the API of your chosen XSLT processor.

It's not possible to supply parameters if you invoke the transformation using the <?xml-stylesheet?> processing instruction.
