Hello,

Im am wondering if it is possible to pass an xpath expression (or part of it) from the commandline to the match attribute of a template.
If you do care about namespaces, you can do:
<xsl:param name="target" as="xs:QName" select="xs:QName('ns:position') />
<xsl:template match="/root/*[local-name-from-QName($targer) = local-name() and namespace-uri-from-QName($target) = namespace-uri()]/child" >....

Hmm, that was a little verbose. This also works well and is easier to read and understand, and now the parameter can be a simple string (but make sure the prefix is the same as the in-scope prefix of the element you are testing, which in turn means that you must choose your prefixes wisely):

<xsl:param name="target" as="xs:string" select=" 't:child1' " /> <xsl:template match="/root/*[resolve-QName($target, .) = resolve-QName(name(), .)]/child" >....

(I am not really accustomed with these functions, not sure what pitfalls you should be aware of before applying this in a stable environment)
