Re: Trouble with XT??

Thanks a lot,
for you explanation, and comprehension for this "rookie question".
I reread the specification and now I understand.

I think that some people already said that the fact the call-template
cannot take a "dynamic value" for name is "limiting".
Could you kind enough to give me pointers about such kind of dicusssions
(in this mailing list or elsewhere)?

I wanted to do a filtering template that did some processing in some case
and in any case call back the template I gave to him in parameter.
To solve my trouble: I made a template (named dispatcher) which take the
$v1 as a parameter and know all the possible value of $v1 (in order to
redirect to the right template). (as you indicates me).

Anyway...
Thanks a lot.

Yes. It should but it doesn't on LotusXSL (sometimes bugs can be useful).
