Re: [xsl] Parameter substitution

I'm glad others have leapt in to help with the basic problem, so I can ask (off-topic):

Hi,

I was going to start this message with something other than the
ubiquitous "Hi I'm a newbie and I can't figure out how to do xyz can
somebody PLEEZ help me" but alas I have failed in that, so let's cut to
the chase:

Is this a tautology or a Cretan paradox? (David C., where's your Gordian knot-cutter?)

Also Curtis, to get the XPath out of your data in the case where you have

<ErrorParameter>
<ErrorParameterType>X</ErrorParameterType>
<ErrorParameterValue>Some/XPATH/To/The/Offending/Value/Goes/In/Here</
ErrorParameterValue>
</ErrorParameter>

is going to require either an extension function (Saxon has one) or a two-pass solution. But you might be doing two passes anyway to chunk up that string into a node-set you can process.

Good luck,
Wendell
