Hi Paul,
That is correct that the href in xsl:import cannot be specified with a param. But you
can use a catalog file, and change the catalog file at runtime to point to a different
stylesheet version. These two references can get you started:

Subject: [docbook-apps] Modify xsl:import value at runtime?


I have a transform wrapper that begins like this:



<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

<xsl:import href="docbook-xsl/html/docbook.xsl"/>
...


So it imports the stylesheets from the docbook-xsl directory.
I would like to be able to select from among any of several
stylesheets: docbook-xsl-1.75.2, docbook-xsl-1.76.1, etc.
(For testing, or to enable different teams that all use the
same wrapper to select a different underlying DocBook XSL
stylesheet version.)

But I would like to be able to do the selectin at runtime rather than
by creating multiple wrappers that vary only in the xsl:import
line.

The href value cannot, as far as I can tell, be specified
using a parameter. Is there a way to accomplish what I want?
Perhaps using catalog entries?

Hi Bob,

Thanks, that sounds like it might be what I want. I'll give it a shot.
