Re: Referencing an XProc variable in p:split-sequence/@test

The XPath context of the @test is the document currently being processed among the sequence appearing on the input port.

If you want to use the variable, you meed to construct the XPath expression of the test with a p:with-option element:

<p:declare-step xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
    xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"
    name="pipeline"
    version="1.0">
    
    <p:input port="source" sequence="true" primary="true">
        <p:inline>
            <one/>
        </p:inline>
        <p:inline>
            <two/>
        </p:inline>
    </p:input>
    
    <p:output port="result" sequence="true" primary="true"/>
    
    <p:variable name="elem" select="'two'">
        <p:empty/>
    </p:variable>
    
    <p:split-sequence>
        <p:with-option name="test" select="concat('name(/*) eq &quot;',$elem,'&quot;')">
            <p:empty/>
        </p:with-option>
    </p:split-sequence>
    
    
</p:declare-step>
