XML in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition

Name

xsl:call-template

Synopsis

<xsl:call-template   name = "QualifiedName">
   <! --  xsl:with-param*  -- >
</xsl:call-template>

The xsl:call-template instruction invokes a template by name. The current node and context node list are the same for the called template as for the calling template. Templates may be called recursively; an xsl:template element may contain an xsl:call-template element that calls that very xsl:template element. This technique is useful for doing things you’d accomplish with loops in a traditional procedural programming language.

Attribute

name, required

The name of the xsl:template element to call.

Contents

This element contains zero or more xsl:with-param elements that pass parameters to the named template.
