You need to include
<xsl:param name="fmt"> at the start of the second template rule.

However, it would be much cleaner to use modes: declare two template rules

<xsl:template match="faq" mode="format">

<xsl:template match="faq" mode="no-format">

and call them by specifying the appropriate mode in the
<xsl:apply-templates> call.
