RE: How to xsl:apply-templates while xsl:copy-of?

[Alain Gilbert]

When I rewrite the addInlineText template as:

<xsl:template name="addInlineText">
  <xsl:param name="value" />
  <fo:block>
    <xsl:for-each select="$value" >
      <xsl:copy/>
      <xsl:apply-templates/>
    </xsl:for-each>
  </fo:block>
</xsl:template>

I do get the desired behavior with the Altova XSLT engine, built in the XMLSpy 
product.

However, when trying the same with Xalan, I get this error:
  SystemID: print.xsl; Line#: 20; Column#: 33
  org.apache.xpath.XPathException: Can not convert #RTREEFRAG to a NodeList!
    at org.apache.xpath.objects.XObject.error(XObject.java:703)
    at org.apache.xpath.objects.XObject.iter(XObject.java:406)
    at org.apache.xpath.Expression.asIterator(Expression.java:250)
    at 
org.apache.xalan.templates.ElemForEach.transformSelectedNodes(ElemForEach.java:333)

Any help greatly appreciated,
Alain Gilbert

Hi,

I'm using xalan-2.7.0 (the same applies to version 2.7.1) and I'd like the 
transform to apply-templates while copying a set of nodes from the template 
into the result document.

I have attached the print.xsl template. Look at line 18 of print.xsl for the 
template "addInlineText" declaration and at line 10 for its call. At line 21, 
how to apply-templates while copying the template parameter?

In other words, I'd like the template that match "html:p" to be applied when 
the template "addField" is called with the parameter "value" with a set of node 
as value.

Is it possible to do it with XSLT 1.0? I'd like to avoid a second pass to apply 
the html:* templates.

Thanks,
Alain Gilbert
