xsl:param

---

The <xsl:param> element establishes a parameter by name and, optionally, a default value for that parameter. When used as a top-level element, the parameter is global . When used inside an <xsl:template> element, the parameter is local to that template. In this case it must be the first child element of the template.

Syntax:

<xsl:param name=NAME select=EXPRESSION
	TEMPLATE
</xsl:param> 

Required Attributes:

name:

Names the parameter. This must be a QName.

Optional Attributes:

select:

Uses an XPath expression to provide a default value if none is specified.

Type: Instruction, can appear as a top-level element or within a template.

Defined: XSLT, section 11.

NS support: Supported.
