Using result-document - how can I create a template within?

Post by **slaterino** » Mon Jan 11, 2010 6:50 pm

Hi,
I am using result-document to create a number of pages for my site. I am just about to start customizing the styles a lot more to get them looking how I need them. However, I can't work out how to use the templates within the result-document tag. I have posted my code below. You will see that the <html>, <head> and <body> tags are repeated in both result-document sections. I am trying to find a way that I could use a template to create these tags so that there is no need for a duplicate, but can't work out how. The only way I know to use <xsl:apply-templates> is by selecting the names of one of the elements but I wouldn't want to do this in this example. Does anyone know how this is done?

Here's the code appropriate to this question:

Code: Select all

    <xsl:template match="/">

        <xsl:apply-templates select="//chapter"/>

        <xsl:result-document href="new/index.php" format="html">

            <html><head><title>Index</title></head>

                <body>

                    <xsl:for-each select="//chapter">

                        <a href="{abbrev}.php"><xsl:value-of select="title" />

                        </a><br/>

                    </xsl:for-each>

                </body>

            </html>

        </xsl:result-document>

    </xsl:template>

    

    <xsl:template match="//chapter">

        <xsl:variable name="filename" select="concat('new/',abbrev,'.php')" />

        <xsl:value-of select="$filename" />

        <xsl:result-document href="{$filename}" format="html">

            <html><head>

                <title>Test results - <xsl:value-of select="title"/></title>

            </head><body>

                <xsl:value-of select="title"/>                 

                    <xsl:apply-templates select="section"/>                

            </body></html>

        </xsl:result-document>

    </xsl:template>

Hello,

You can create a template and give it a name, like this for example:

Code: Select all

<xsl:template name="common">

    <html>

        <head></head>

        <body></body>

    </html>

</xsl:template>

And call it from result-document with <xsl:call-template name="common"/>.

Regards,
Adrian

Cheers for that Adrian. I have tried using call-template but am still unsure exactly how I can use this template for both of my xsl:result-document needs. For example, with your script, I would have:

Code: Select all


<xsl:template name="common">

    <html>

        <head></head>

        <body>

[in the middle here I would want calls to two different templates]

        </body>

    </html>

</xsl:template>

Is there anyway I would be able to work it so that include this template inside of my two different xsl:result-document tags. Is there a way that I could attach a variable to each of the two different result-document tags and then use xsl:if asking for the name of that variable. What would be the way of doing this? I have been looking through all kinds of manuals for the answer on this but it has not been easy to find!!

Thanks for your help though. It's appreciated!
