Re^6: XML::XSLT problem

Interesting.. I found <fo> tags in my original XSL. Should they be processed in correctly with XSLT or should throw the error?

Update: Actually, I <fo> tags works fine, but <xsl:variable> tag gives problem: Here is the sample code

<xsl:variable name="TextFontSize">10</xsl:variable>

On further investigation, I found that this tag works fine inside <xsl:template> but fails when you declare it globally, See Example 3.

XML::XSLT should just ignore the fo stuff, though that isn't being tested.

But yes you have uncovered a bug in a code path which wasn't being tested. Basically the problem is with an outer <xsl:variable /> declaration where there is a literal value (like you have there) rather than supplied with a value attribute. It needs to create a document fragment to store the results of evaluating the literal value and createDocumentFragment() needs to be called as a method of the XML::DOM::Document object, but as the top level variables are evaluated on the first parse of the XSL document there isn't an XML::DOM::Document yet :-(.

The bottom line is that whilst your example above could quite happily be expressed as:

   <xsl:variable name="TextFontSize" value="10" />

CVS

XML::DOM

But I have a test for this now so it will get fixed eventually

Thanks for the bug report, sorry I can't help you straight away.
