xsl:apply-templates and xsl:with-param

[Tennile Christensen <te...@kidar.org>]

Hi all,

I'm having a problem using xsl:apply-templates and xsl:with-param. If
anyone has successfully done this before and can let me know where I'm
going wrong, I'd really appreciate it.

I have several templates like the following:

<xsl:template match="s4">

<br></br>
<p class="H4">
<xsl:if test="@indexterm">
<A NAME="{@indexterm}">
</A>
</xsl:if>

<A><xsl:attribute name="NAME"><xsl:value-of select="translate(heading,'
','')"/></xsl:attribute></A>
<xsl:value-of select="heading"/>
</p>

<xsl:apply-templates>
<xsl:with-param name="style" select="'body-s4'"/>
</xsl:apply-templates>

</xsl:template>

The template above matches several different templates in an
xsl:include(ed) stylesheet, which
attempt to use the $style parameter, like the following:

                          <!-- P (paragraphs) -->
<xsl:template match="p">
<p>
<xsl:attribute name="class"> <xsl:value-of select="$style"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</p>
</xsl:template>

But, I'm getting the following error. The output contains the class
attribute set to an empty string.

file:/shome/tennille/p4/wacdem_A_1/doc/dtd/block_hand.xsl; Line 55;
Column -1; VariableReference given for variable out of context or
without definition!  Name = style
file:/shome/tennille/p4/wacdem_A_1/doc/dtd/block_hand.xsl; Line 16;
Column -1; VariableReference given for variable out of context or
without definition!  Name = style


Am I missing anything? Or should I submit this as a bug?



Thanks for your time,

It looks like you need an <xsl:param ...> within your xsl:template in
order to "receive" the passed parameter.
