xsl:param (template)

Parameters can be defined on the template level.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template name="test">
    <xsl:para name="param1" select="'default-string'"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
					

This allows calling templates to pass parameters using the with-param element.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <xsl:call-template name="test">
      <xsl:with-param name="param1" select="'test'"/>
    </xsl:call-template>
  </xsl:template>

  <xsl:template name="test">
    <xsl:para name="param1" select="'default-string'"/>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>
