Case Conversion

Snyder, Christopher

My goal with this is to convert an XML doc with upper cased tags (and attributes) to lower cased tag and attribute combinations.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
version="1.0">

<!-- Transform a document to itself, lowercasing all tag names -->

  <!-- When you match any element -->
  <xsl:template match="*">
    <!-- Create the same element with a lowercase name -->
    <xsl:element name="{translate(name(),'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ',
                                         'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz')}">
      <!-- Including any attributes it has and any child nodes -->
      <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*"/>
    </xsl:element>
  </xsl:template>

 
</xsl:stylesheet>

I tried to run a stylesheet that inputs a parameter and
interprets the value of it as a location path.
I.e. 
 <xsl:param name="query">no-default</xsl:param>
 ...
 <xsl:template name="querytemp">
  <xsl:apply-templates select="$query"/>
 </xsl:template>
	

This yields "cannot convert to node-set" error

Try

<xsl:apply-templates select="*[name()=$query]"/>.
