node-set implementation in XSLTC

[Srinivasa Manthena <sm...@yahoo.com>]

Hi,

We are using xt:node-set kind of syntax very
extensively and I have seen in release-notes that
XSLTC doesn't support node-set implementation. Is that
true or is there any expected date that this can be
enhanced?

Any input would be really great.

Thank you.

Sorry the documentation is out of date.
XSLTC has been enhanced to support result 
tree fragments as node sets. You don't have 
to use a special extension. Just assign the 
RTF to a variable and use it as if it were 
a node set.

Srinivasa,

XSLTC does support result-tree fragments as parameters to
the <xsl:for-each/> and <xsl:apply-templates/> elements.
The conversion from result-tree fragment to node-set is
automatic so there is no need for a node-set() function
(even though we may want to add one). You can currently
use result-tree fragments with XSLTC as follows:

  <xsl:variable name="blob">
    <rabarbra>
      <foo><A/></foo>
      <foo><B/></foo>
      <foo><C/></foo>
    </rabarbra>
  </xsl:variable>

  <xsl:template .....>
    <xsl:apply-templates select="$blob"/>
    <xsl:for-each select="$blob">
      ...
    </xsl:for-each>
  </xsl:template>

Note that the result-tree fragment cannot be part of an
XPath expression - it must be used by itself only.
