RE: [XProc 3 port@pipeline] Usage of such a shortcut

Hi Christophe,

 

I’m sorry, but that would be stretching things a bit too far. No, what you want is not possible.

 

However, in the example you’re giving you could just write message=” Transforming {base-uri(.)}" (since you’re asking for the base-uri of the Default Readable Port (DRP))

Subject: [XProc 3 port@pipeline] Usage of such a shortcut

 

Hello !

I can use, on a p:with-input, a shortcut to design a pipe's port :

<p:with-input name="..." pipe="port@named-pipeline"/>

But, am I allowed to use this syntax on any XPath expression ? For example, may I write this :

<p:declare-step name="named-pipe">
  <p:input port="source" primary="true"/>
  <p:output port="result" primary="true"/>

  <p:xslt message="Transforming {base-uri(source@named-pipe)}">
    <p:with-input port="stylesheet" href="../xsl/identity.xsl"/>
  </p:xslt>
</p:declare-step>

Or, if I can't, is there an XSPec XPath extension function that returns the content of port@named-pipe ?

Thanks in advance,
Christophe
