Re: [Xsltforms-support] Hints on using the transform function

[Philip F. <Phi...@ma...>]

Alain,

Thank you. Yes, I can see that the function works when I use xf:setvalue to send the result to a text node. Would an alternative implementation of the transform function return a node and then you could use the existing serialize function to generate the textual representation from the result of transform?


Regards

Philip

Hello Philip,
I've been experimenting with XSLTForms' extension transform function but I can't seem to get it to work or, maybe, I'm not using it correctly. I had hoped I could use it to apply a transform to one instance and deposit the result into another by using an xf:insert:

<xf:insert origin="transform(instance('source'), '/resources/schemas/schematron/atom-feed.xsl')" position="after" nodeset="." context="instance('svrlReport')"/>
The current transform() function in XSLTForms returns a string.  A parse() function could be added to get an XML Document instead.

Regards,
