<h3><a name="introduction" id=
"introduction"></a>1 Introduction</h3>
<p>It's quite common in [<a href="#xproc"><span class=
"abbrev">XProc: An XML Pipeline Language</span></a>] to construct
documents using values computed by the pipeline. This is
particularly (but not exclusively) the case when the pipeline uses
the <tt class="tag-element">p:http-request</tt> step. The input to
<tt class="tag-element">p:http-request</tt> is a <tt class=
"tag-element">c:request</tt> document; attributes on the <tt class=
"tag-element">c:request</tt> element control most of the request
parameters; the body of the document forms the body of request.</p>
<p>A typical example looks like this:</p>
<div class="programlisting">
<pre>
<c:request method="POST" href="http://example.com/post"
username="user" password="password">
<c:body>
<computed-content/>
</c:body>
</c:request>
</pre></div>
<p>If we assume that the <tt class="tag-attribute">href</tt> value
and the computed content come from an input document, and the
username and password are options, then a typical pipeline to
compute the request becomes quite complex.</p>
<div class="programlisting">
<pre>
<p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"
name="main" version="1.0">
<p:option name="username" required="true"/>
<p:option name="password" required="true"/>
<p:identity>
<p:input port="source">
<p:inline>
<c:request method="POST"/>
</p:inline>
</p:input>
</p:identity>
<p:add-attribute match="/c:request" attribute-name="href">
<p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="/doc/request/@uri">
<p:pipe step="main" port="source"/>
</p:with-option>
</p:add-attribute>
<p:add-attribute match="/c:request" attribute-name="username">
<p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="$username"/>
</p:add-attribute>
<p:add-attribute match="/c:request" attribute-name="password">
<p:with-option name="attribute-value" select="$password"/>
</p:add-attribute>
<p:insert position="first-child" match="/c:request">
<p:input port="insertion" select="/doc/request">
<p:pipe step="main" port="source"/>
</p:input>
</p:insert>
<p:unwrap match="/c:request/request"/>
</p:pipeline>
</pre></div>
<p>There's nothing wrong with this pipeline, but it requires
several steps to accomplish with the pipeline author probably
considers a single operation. What's more, the result of these
steps is not immediately obvious on casual inspection.</p>
<p>In order to make this simple construction case both literally
and conceptually simpler, this note introduces two new XProc steps
in the XProc namespace. Support for these steps is optional, but we
strongly encourage implementors to provide them.</p>
<p>The new steps are <a href="#c.in-scope-names"><tt class=
"tag-element">p:in-scope-names</tt></a> and <a href=
"#c.template"><tt class="tag-element">p:template</tt></a>. Taken
together, they greatly simplify the pipeline:</p>
<div class="programlisting">
<pre>
<p:pipeline xmlns:p="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc"
xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/ns/xproc-step"
name="main" version="1.0">
<p:option name="username" required="true"/>
<p:option name="password" required="true"/>
<p:in-scope-names name="vars"/>
<p:template>
<p:input port="template">
<p:inline>
<c:request method="POST" href="{/doc/request/@uri}"
username="{$username}" password="{$password}">
{ /doc/request/node() }
</c:request>
</p:inline>
</p:input>
<p:input port="source">
<p:pipe step="main" port="source"/>
</p:input>
<p:input port="parameters">
<p:pipe step="vars" port="result"/>
</p:input>
</p:template>
</p:pipeline>
</pre></div>
<p>The <a href="#c.in-scope-names"><tt class=
"tag-element">p:in-scope-names</tt></a> step provides all of the
in-scope options and variables in a <tt class=
"tag-element">c:param-set</tt> (this operation is exactly analagous
to what the <tt class="tag-element">p:parameters</tt> step does,
except that it operates on the options and variables instead of on
parameters).</p>
<p>The <a href="#c.template"><tt class=
"tag-element">p:template</tt></a> step searches for XPath
expressions, delimited by curly braces, in a template document and
replaces each with the result of evaluating the expression. All of
the parameters passed to the <a href="#c.template"><tt class=
"tag-element">p:template</tt></a> step are available as in-scope
variable names when evaluating each XPath expression.</p>
<p>Where the expressions occur in attribute values, their string
value is used. Where they appear in text content, their node values
are used.</p>

<p>Each in-scope variable and option is converted into a <tt class=

<p>While evaluating each expression, the names of any parameters
passed to the step are available as variable values in the XPath
dynamic context.</p>
<p>The step searches for XPath expressions in attribute values,
text content (adjacent text nodes, if they occur in the data model,
must be coalesced; this step always processes maximal length text
nodes), processing instruction data, and comments. XPath
expressions are identified by curly braces, similar to attribute
value templates in XSLT or enclosed expressions in XQuery.</p>
<p>In order to allow curly braces to appear literally in content,
they can be escaped by doubling them. In other words, where
“<tt class="code">{</tt>” would start an XPath expression,
“<tt class="code">{{</tt>” is simply a <em>single</em>, literal
opening curly brace. The same applies for closing curly braces.</p>
<p>Inside an XPath expression, strings quoted by single (<tt class=
"code">'</tt>) or double (<tt class="code">"</tt>) quotes are
treated literally. Outside of quoted text, it is an error for an
opening curly brace to occur. A closing curly brace ends the XPath
expression (whether or not it is followed immediately by another
closing curly brace).</p>
<p>These parsing rules can be described by the following algorithm,
though implementations are by no means required to implement the
parsing in exactly this way, provided that they achieve the same
results.</p>
<div class="itemizedlist">
<ul>
<li>
<p>The parser begins in <em>regular-mode</em> at the start of each
unit of content where expansion may occur. In

<p><a name="err.inline.C0067.2" id="err.inline.C0067.2"></a>It is a
<em class="glossterm">dynamic error</em> (<a href=
"#err.C0067"><code class="errqname">err:XC0067</code></a>) if the
parser reaches the end of the unit of content and it is not in
<em>regular-mode</em>.</p>
<p>The context node used for each expression is the document passed
on the <tt class="port">source</tt> port. <a name=
"err.inline.C0068" id="err.inline.C0068"></a>It is a <em class=
"glossterm">dynamic error</em> (<a href=
"#err.C0068"><code class="errqname">err:XC0068</code></a>) if more
than one document appears on the <tt class="port">source</tt> port.
In an XPath 1.0 implementation, if <tt class=
"tag-element">p:empty</tt> is given or implied on the <tt class=
"port">source</tt> port, an empty document node is used as the
context node. In an XPath 2.0 implementation, the context item is
undefined. <a name="err.inline.C0026" id="err.inline.C0026"></a>It
is a <em class="glossterm">dynamic error</em> (<a href=
"#err.C0026"><code class="errqname">err:XC0026</code></a>) if any
XPath expression makes reference to the context node, size, or
position when the context item is undefined.</p>
<p>In an attribute value, processing instruction, or comment, the
string value of the XPath expression is used. In text content, an
expression that selects nodes will cause those nodes to be copied
into the template document.</p>
<div class="admonition">
<div class="admon-title">Note</div>
<p>Depending on which version of XPath an implementation supports,
and possibly on the <tt class="tag-attribute">xpath-version</tt>
setting on the <tt class="tag-element">p:template</tt>, some
implementations may report errors, or different results, than other
implementations in those cases where the interpretation of an XPath
expression differs between the versions of XPath.</p>
