import / call / template match

Kabe · February 26th, 2004, 08:27 AM

is there a better/shorter way to do what i do below?

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:import href="facturen/deliverednotinvoiced.xsl"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
<xsl:apply-templates select="//BODY"/>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="BODY[@id = 'deliverednotinvoiced']">
<xsl:call-template name="deliverednotinvoiced"/>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

Difficult to say as we don't know what you want but you might want to just call the template and pass body as a param:

Code:

<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">


<xsl:import href="facturen/deliverednotinvoiced.xsl"/>


<xsl:template match="/">
<html>
<body>
    <xsl:call-template name="deliverednotinvoiced">
      <xsl:with-param name="bodyElement" select="//BODY"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
</body>
</html>
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="deliverednotinvoiced>
  <xsl:param name="bodyElement"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>

i'm just looking for an easier/shorter way to select the right xsl template (from the imports), depending on the //BODY/@id.

the code i posted shows at the top 1 import and at the bottom 1 'xsl:template-match'

But in future there'll be more of course. For each import a 'xsl:template match' at the end.

Depending on the //BODY/@id the right 'xsl:template match' will be used.

now, i was just wondering if it is possible to do this in a shorter way, in place of having to import them all, and to define at the bottom a 'xsl:template match' for each import.

each imported xsl at the top represents a different value for BODY/@id

Well your match only has to state 'BODY', when you select a node set to match this will be called on the relevant node, you don't have to make it a specific match for each id.
Templates are only called when apply-templates is invoked, either specifically or due to a default rule being applied.
