Hi Dave, what element would this attribute be on? The xsl:message element? I know that Xalan has some extension attributes for xsl:output ... but now that I think about it ... where in XSLT 1.0 recommendation does it say that this is OK?
I don't know if users want to change individual xsl:message elements in their stylesheet, or if they want to specify some global change say via the Transformer.setParameter(String,Object), say Transformer.setParameter("{http://xml.apache.org/xalan}message-location", "no"); ? - Brian [EMAIL PROTECTED] ibm.com To 12/12/2006 09:46 xalan-j-users@xml.apache.org AM cc Subject Re: A question on how users are using <xsl:message> Brain Minchau asks: >How are you using <xsl:message>? Okay, I'll start. I am using it strictly in interactive usage, either for progress tracking messages or for debugging. Most of the time, the location information is either desirable or not a problem. It would be nice to have an attribute (e.g., xalan:location-info="no") to control it. I would also be interested to hear if anyone has warmed up to the notion that xsl:message can emit something other than a string. The spec (part 13) grants leeway for xsl:message to issue elements or whatever, though I think strings in the body should never be ignored. .................David Marston
