Not easily, because the 'match' attribute cannot be dynamic. Eg, I couldn't do: <xsl:param name="xpath-expr"/> <xsl:template match="$xpath-expr"> <xsl:copy-of select="."/> </xsl:template> AFAIK this is for the same reason that Cocoon doesn't currently have an XPath matcher. > If you *really* want xpath, you can always write a small xsp-page that > generates an xinclude-statement and then run it through the > xinclude-transformer (which, IIRC will be merged with the cinclude > transformer into a single 'include'-transformer in the near future). That's a good idea.
