Hi,
is it possible to create an xml comment in the XSLT-output which consists of a complete subtree of the xml-input-document? Im using XSLT 2.0.
I've been trying things like: <xsl:comment> <xsl:copy-of select="//section[3]"/> <xsl:comment> but but never got the desired output like: <!-- <section>... please comment the section in ...<section/> -->

Hi, I just had an idea about how to write useful comments in XSLT (which I very seldomly see), it struck me that what one needs to see in a complex transform is a comment that explains the expected input and the expected output, the reason being that the input is in a format that the developer working with the xslt might not know, or even if they have developed the stylesheet themselves might not remember the expected input, so:
<xsl:template match="x:*[starts-with(@type,'payment')][1]">
<!--
if input = <x:restrictive type="paymentdue" amount="$500"/>
the output will be <div class="paymentdue" onclick="calculator(paymentdue,500)">
paymentdue for $500
</div>
the various types of class expected are paymentdue, paymentmade, paymentpast
--> <div class="{@type}" onclick="calculator({concat(@type,',',substring(@amount,2,string-length(@amount)-1))})"> <xsl:value-of select="concat(@type,' for ',@amount)"/> </div> </xsl:template>
yes I know this is not a particular good way to structure ones output, it's a spur of the moment example. Obviously the comment could be done as an xml fragment, so <!-- <doc:fragment> <doc:input> <x:restrictive type="paymentdue" amount="$500"/> </doc:input> <doc:output> <div class="paymentdue" onclick="calculator(paymentdue,500)"> paymentdue for $500 </div>
</doc:output> <doc:remarks> the various types of class expected are paymentdue, paymentmade, paymentpast </doc:remarks> </doc:fragment> -->
I haven't defined any namespaces for the examples.
