Re: Variables again

Here is another way to write it

<p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc" name="pipeline">
    <p:input port="data"/>
    <p:www-form-urlencode name="foo" match="toreplace">
        <p:input port="source">
            <p:inline>
                <root>
                    <toreplace/>
                </root>
            </p:inline>
        </p:input>
        <p:with-param name="foo" select="'bar'"/>
        <p:with-param name="bar" select="'baz'"/>
    </p:www-form-urlencode>

    <p:string-replace match="a/@href">
        <p:input port="source">
           <p:pipe step="pipeline" port="data"/>
        </p:input>
        <p:with-option name="replace" select="concat('concat(.,',/root,
')')">
           <p:pipe step="foo" port="result"/>
        </p:with-option>
    </p:string-replace>
</p:pipeline>
