Re: Minutes for XProc WG telcon of 6 Apr 2006

/ Rui Lopes <rlopes@di.fc.ul.pt> was heard to say:
| I was talking about testing over pipeline parameters without having to test
| xpaths against documents. Example:
|
| <p:pipeline>
|   <p:param name="debug" value="false" />
|
|   <p:step name="xslt">
|     ...
|   </p:step>
|   <p:if test="true($debug)">
|     <!-- perform some debugging tasks -->
|   </p:if>
|   ...
| </p:pipeline>
|
| If this type of features isn't allowed in the pipeline language, we would have
| to define the debug flag in a dummy document and afterwards test that document
| with a xpath expression.

Right. That's what we decided last week. You'd have to say:

<p:pipeline>
  <p:param name="debug">
   <true/>
  </p:param>

  <p:step name="xslt">
    ...
  </p:step>

  <p:if input="$debug" test="/true">
    <!-- perform some debugging tasks -->
  </p:if>
  ...
</p:pipeline>

We might decide that we need something simpler for this case.

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
