> Hello folks,
>
> I've written a XSL document to transform XML into XHTML (yes,
> that's a big surprize!). The document contains some error
> codes and I'd like to transform these numerical codes into an
> actual human-readable message so I built a small XML document
> as follow :
>
> <?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes"?>
> <Table>
> <Message Code="...">User-friendly error message</Message>
> ...
> </Table>
>
> Now I'd like to change my XSLT so I could look-up into the
> Table to substitute numerical error codes by text messages
> with something like :
>
> <xsl:value-of select="/Table/Message[@Code=ActualErrorCode]"/>
>
> Now the question is how do I "link" this table to my input
> DOM so I can reach the Message elements from within my XSLT?
> Is there any possibility to that with plain XSLT? (I don't
> want to use any engine-dependant
> extensions)
>
> Maybe should I make a <xsl:choose>-based template matching
> the elements containing these codes?
