Re: how to use data in other template? or how to handle it other way?


Why in the first place do you expect that a "existence/entity" would be
processed before a "existence/attri"?

XSLT is a declarative, side-effects free language, which among other
things means one cannot generally expect a specific processing order.

The effect of having variables, accessible to every instantiation of a
certain template only, can be achieved by regarding the template as a
function and binding the necessary parameters to values using partial
application.

How to do this in XSLT is described in the article:

"Dynamic Functions using FXSL: Composition, Partial Applications and
Lambda Expressions",

I know how to use variable in same template.
But how to use same variable in other template?
Could I get example of case?
For example xml-file:

<existence>
 <entity>
  <!-- data in several "tags" -->
  <id>12</id>
  .
  .
  .
 <entity>
 <attri>
  <!-- data -->
 </attri>
</existence>

xsl-file:

<xsl:template match="existence/entity">
<xsl:variable name="global" select="id"> <!-- variable creation and it 
works here -->
 <xsl:value-of select="id" />
</xsl:variable>
.
.
.
</xsl:template>

<xsl:template match="existence/attri">
<!-- how to use variable here or how to use "data of id" here?   -->
<!-- for example in if case... -->
<xsl:if test="global = //attri/idref1">
<!-- first is variable, but what kind of it should be that it works
here 
--> 
</xsl:template>
