Re: Passing a variable to p:document href?

Hi Dan.

In `<p:document href="$Makexsltfile"/>`, the variable in the href attribute
is not evaluated, it is taken literally which is why the error is saying
that the file "$Makexsltfile" could not be read.

You will need to load the document referenced by your variable and pipe it
into the p:xslt step. Have a look at p:load
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xproc/#c.load>.

Something like this should work I think (untested):

 <p:declare-step type="l:flatten-map">
        <p:option name="Makexsltfile" required="true"/>

        <p:input port="source"/>
        <p:output port="result">
            <p:pipe step="flatten-map" port="result"/>
        </p:output>

        <!-- Process the DITAMAP file source to travel all the included
maps and topics with stylesheet to flatten the structure and
gather information for later processing. -->
        <p:xslt name="flatten-map">
            <p:input port="source"/>
            <p:input port="stylesheet">
                <p:pipe step="Makexsltfile" port="result"/>
            </p:input>
            <p:input port="parameters">
                <p:empty/>
            </p:input>

            <p:load name="Makexsltfile">
                <p:with-option name="href" select="$Makexsltfile"/>
            </p:load>
            <p:sink/>

        </p:xslt>

Best regards
