XSLT <xsl:with-param>

XSLT <xsl:with-param>​

The <xsl:with-param> element defines the value of a parameter to be passed into a template.

note

The value of the name attribute of <xsl:with-param> must match a name in an <xsl:param> element (the <xsl:with-param> element is ignored if there is no match).

note

The <xsl:with-param> element is allowed within <xsl:apply-templates> and <xsl:call-template>.

note

You can add a value to the parameter by the content of the <xsl:with-param> element or by the select attribute!

Syntax​

<xsl:with-param
    name="name"
    select="expression">
    
    <!-- Content:template -->

</xsl:with-param>
