XSLT stylesheet parameters in imported stylesheets

Question

Is it possible to assign a value to a parameter of an imported stylesheet?

I was expecting something like

Answer 1

Just to add to lwburk's excellent answer (+1), here's one more example of assigning a value to a parameter in an imported stylesheet.

You wouldn't need to add xsl:param to the main stylesheet; you would just assign the value when you called the stylesheet (on the command line for example).

main.xsl

import.xsl

example saxon command line (setting new parameter value)

java -cp "saxon9.jar" net.sf.saxon.Transform -s:input.xml -xsl:main.xsl -o:output.xml param="kuba"

output.xml

kuba
