I was playing with this example in the xpath 3.0 spec:
fn:fold-left(function($a, $b) { $a + $b }, 0, 1 to 5)
I tried to substitute the inline function with a function defined by xsl:function.
<xsl:function name="ki:plus" as="xs:integer*">
<xsl:param name="a" as="xs:integer*">
<xsl:param name="b" as="xs:integer">
<xsl:value-of select="$a + $b">
</xsl:function>
But got the error that "first parameter of fold-left can't be an empty sequence.
Am I doing something wrong or is this not possible?
Thanks in advance.
Here is a correct example:
<xsl:stylesheet version="3.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:my="my:my">
<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes" indent="yes"/>
<xsl:template match="/">
<xsl:sequence select=
"fold-left(my:add#2, 0, 1 to 5)
"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:function name="my:add" as="xs:integer">
<xsl:param name="arg1" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:param name="arg2" as="xs:integer"/>
<xsl:sequence select="$arg1 + $arg2"/>
</xsl:function>
</xsl:stylesheet>
when applied on any XML document (not used), the wanted, correct result is produced:
