- Reply-to: xsl-list at lists dot mulberrytech dot com
Hi,
I'm using Cocoon 2.0.2 here to process XML files with XSL-T stylesheets.
The relevant part of my pipeline is like this:
<map:match pattern="start.xml">
<map:generate src="start.xml"/>
<map:transform src="start.xsl"/>
<map:serialize type="html"/>
</map:match>
start.xml contains several sets of data, which are very similar to each
other. I'd like to pick one at a time and display it. For this purpose, it
would be possible to write several stylesheets, one for each data set I'd
like to process. However, I find it more elegant if I could somehow pass a
parameter to start.xsl, telling it which data set to process.
Is it possible to pass "external" parameters a stylesheet?
Thanks in advance,
Ralph
