Is this possible using XSLT?

using xalan 2.7.1 within Java 5.0

I want to produce a stylesheet from another stylesheet but there is NO
xml. Also the stylesheet produced is actually made up of 10 sections
of xslt which is actually held in memory NOT as a disk file - for this
we used xslt extension functions which work really well.

So my question is, using xalan's tranform method, can I give it just a
xslt file which then makes external calls to retrieve all the sections
to produce the final one but without any XML?

thanks in advance

You might want to use the Xalan user list for Xalan specific questions
but usually when I have a stylesheet that does not need any input XML I
simply provide a dummy XML input e.g.
<root/>
to the transformation method.

Create and pass in a dummy source.

Dear Masters of XSLT Could I ask you for a clue on the following question? I'd like to use XSLT to transform an XML source file to LaTeX. In the following small example the <para> Element contains (I think so) - a text node (node one) - an element node (node two) - a text node (node three)

I have a scheduled job that uses different XSL templates to transform XML and save it to disk. I am having problems with the code below.

Is it possible to include addition tags in a XSLT file, that the XSLT processor will, for all practical purposes, ignore? What I'm looking to do is to include a section to contain information regarding what parameters the XSLT file is expecting. Then my program can retrieve the information from the style sheet and prompt the user for the necessary parameters. I'm envisioning the section would be something like this: <myParameters>

Heres my problem: I am outputting XML from a dataset and using XSLT to format the output as HTML and the Response.ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel" directive to load the output as an Excel file running within the context of the browser. This works fine and the result is a nicely formatted Excel report. I was wondering if there was any way to also send additional formatting information like page margins and scaling. I've seen some...

This is supposed to be a very simple XSL stylesheet to strip styling information out of HTML documents - it could not be more basic. And yet, it doesn't work. I'm obviously getting something very basic wrong and for the life of me I can't see it. Please, somebody, cast your eyes over this and tell me what's wrong! First, the XSL stylesheet: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
