xsl:param

Syntax

<xsl:param name="qualified-name" select="expression">
    ...
</xsl:param>

Description

Declare a parameter for a template (if it is within a template) or for the style sheet as a whole (if it is at the top level of the style sheet).

name—Defines the name of the parameter.

select—Defines the default value for the parameter, which is used if the person or client application that executes the script does not explicitly provide a value. The select attribute or the content of the <xsl:param> element can define the default value. Do not specify both a select attribute and some content; we recommend using the select attribute so as not to create a result tree fragment.
