include file in XSL

["Athalye, Rishi" <RA...@skandia.com>]

Hi,

We are creating a PDF by applying the XSL to the data (XML).
We are using several XSLs which present the data in different formats.
There is some content which is common for all these XSLs.
Can I do something similar to what is achievable via an include directive in
HTML.
Thus, I would not have to hard-code the common content in each XSL, but it
could lie in a common include file and all these XSL's would
include it before sending it to the FO PDF renderer.

I would appreciate any help.

Thanks.

Rishi,

An xsl:include element exists:

http://www.w3schools.com/xsl/el_include.asp

NOTE: it must exist only as a child of xsl:stylesheet or xsl:transform. 
In other words, it must appear just below the root xsl:stylesheet element.

There is also xsl:import which is similar. I recommend picking up an XSL 
  or XML book that explains how to use such things. You can also search 
google.com (like I did for this post), for more information and tutorials.

p.s. Please make sure you post to the right place. fop-dev is where FOP 
Development is discussed. fop-user *might* be OK for this type of 
question, but xsl-list is the best. You can find out more about where to 
post questions on this page (in the links on the left):

Way" for more info:

You can put those common things in a template and use call-template to
handle this.
