Re: [xslt] xsltproc error 'xsltApplyOneTemplate: attribute-set was not compiled'

[sudhakar+xslt CS Princeton EDU]

great!  that fixes it.  But what is the idea of making attribute sets
top-level? Does that not mean the corresponding attribute values are
fixed? Can someone explain a bit in detail?  Alternatively, since I am
able to change the values inside, why not allow attribute sets be
non-toplevel?

Am I missing something?

The following code works:  (hello top level)


<xsl:attribute-set name="hello">
     <xsl:attribute name="font-size">12pt</xsl:attribute>
     <xsl:attribute name="font-weight">bold</xsl:attribute>
</xsl:attribute-set>


<xsl:element name="testing" use-attribute-sets="hello">
     <xsl:attribute name="hibben"> maggie </xsl:attribute>
            whats up?
</xsl:element>


to get


<testing font-size="12pt" font-weight="bold" hibben="maggie">
               whats up?
</testing>
