I'm afraid you'll probably have to do something like this in your transform if you want to get a boolean: <xsl:param name="preserve_newline" as="xs:boolean"/> <xsl:variable name="preserve_newline_boolean" select="upper-case($preserve_newline) = 'TRUE'" as="xs:boolean" /> And then use $preserve_newline_boolean where you were using $preserve_newline. I think what it comes down to is that while XSL allows parameters of any type, XProc limits parameters to being strings, and will pass them as strings to an XSL. So the XSL will recieve a string when it is expecting a boolean, and fail. It's kind of an annoying limitation in situations like this. Hope this helps, -James On Thu, Nov 12, 2009 at 12:36 PM, Alex Muir <alex.g.muir@gmail.com> wrote: > James, > > Well mixed results.
