Hello,
xsl:variable is made on this purpose, just use the select attribute to get
your node value :
<xsl:variable name="myVar" select="."/> for example, get the value of the
context node.
Within the same template you can then get your variable value with
<xsl:value-of select="$myVar"/>
If you want to use it anywhere in your xsl, then make it global : declare
your variable just under the xsl root (<xsl:stylesheet>) and start your
select with : "/your_xml_root/xpath_to_your_node"
If you want to pass this variable as parameter to a template, then use
better <xsl:param>
Hope this help,
Matthieu
