Hello!
Is there a way to pass parameters to the engine?
Here's an example that might clarify what I mean. Suppose you want to change the date in a file to the current date; using xsltransform.net, how could you pass that date in as a parameter?
Here's some XSL to illustrate my example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<!-- Here we declare the parameter that we expect to be passed in. -->
<xsl:param name="currentDate"/>
<!-- This block copies the whole thing (the input) into the output. -->
<xsl:template match="node() | @*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*"/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- This block replaces the `date_created` attribute of the Message element with the current date. -->
<xsl:template match="/Message/@date_created">
<!-- The name attribute is required, so we just specify the same name as before. `name()` uses the same name the attribute had previously; we don't want to change the attribute name, just its value. -->
<xsl:attribute name="{name()}">
<xsl:value-of select="$currentDate"/>
</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>Thank you for efforts in making your useful tool public.
