[oXygen-user] calling templates in imported files (XSLT)

[George Cristian Bina]

Hi Lars,

The real problem is the first situation, the second situation should be 
solved though a catalog as you mention.

The first situation was covered also in my presentation at XML Prague. 
The problem appears not only for XSLT but also for XQuery, Relax NG 
schema and XML in general (external entities).

This problem is planned to be resolved in the next oXygen release. The 
idea is to define a main document and apply operations on that document 
instead of the fragment.

A workaround for XSLT development is to define components also locally 
if that is possible. You can do that in case of a template, if the 
stylesheet is imported from another stylesheet then the template defined 
in the imported document will not be used.

Best Regards,
George
