  select = expression>
</xsl:with-param>

Element Information

Number of occurrences Unlimited
Parent elements xsl:call-template, xsl:apply-templates
Child elements xsl:apply-templates, xsl:attribute, xsl:call-template, xsl:choose, xsl:comment, xsl:copy, xsl:copy-of, xsl:element, xsl:for-each, xsl:if, xsl:processing-instruction, xsl:text, xsl:value-of, xsl:variable

Remarks

The required name attribute specifies the name of the parameter (the variable, the value of whose binding is to be replaced). The <xsl:with-param> element is allowed within both <xsl:call-template> and <xsl:apply-templates>. The value of the parameter is specified in the same way as for <xsl:variable> and <xsl:param>. The current node and current node-list used for computing the value specified by the <xsl:with-param> element is the same as that used for the <xsl:apply-templates> or <xsl:call-template> element within which it occurs. It is not an error to pass a parameter x to a template that does not have an <xsl:param> element for x; the parameter is simply ignored.
