Because of this, it is not necessary to pass "x" explicitly to "c"; when "b" is being called, the value of "x" is added to the context - Template "c" finds the context value 2) MAKING A dynamic PARAMETER lexical: <ui:template name="a"> <ui:expectparam name="x" scope="dynamic"/> <ui:expectparam name="y" scope="dynamic"/> <ui:use template="b"/> </ui:template> <ui:template name="b"> <ui:expectparam name="x" scope="lexical"/> <ui:expectparam name="y" scope="lexical">Q</ui:expectparam> $x $y <ui:use template="c"/> </ui:template> <ui:template name="c"> <ui:expectparam name="x" scope="lexical"/> <ui:expectparam name="y" scope="lexical"/> $x $y </ui:template> - Template "a" has two dynamic parameters, "x" and "y". When "b" is called, both parameters have already been added to the context. - Template "b" finds values for "x" and "y" in the context - the fact that the parameters are declared as lexical does not change that inputs for parameters are also searched in the context. So "x" has the same value as "x" has in template "a". But "y" has also a default value. This default value has higher precedence than the value in the context, and because of this, "y" is "Q". - Template "c" is called without explicitly passing parameters. Because "b" did not add its parameters to the context, template "c" will see the same values as "a" did. In short terms, "lexical" means: I do not want that subsequently called templates see my values (unless parameters are passed explicitly); these subsequently called templates will see the old values the parameters had before they became "lexical". "dynamic" means: I want that my value becomes the default value of this parameter that will even be seen by subsequently called templates. --> <!ELEMENT ui:use ( ui:param )* > <!ATTLIST ui:use template %nametoken; #REQUIRED> <!-- PROPOSAL: Erstes innere Element darf auch ein ui:template sein. --> <!ELEMENT ui:iterate ( ( ui:param )*, ( ui:iter-empty )?, ( ui:iter-head )?, ( ui:iter-foot )?, ( ui:iter-separator )? ) > <!-- ( ui:inline-template )? --> <!ATTLIST ui:iterate template %nametoken; #REQUIRED variable %nametoken; #REQUIRED index CDATA #IMPLIED > <!-- uses the "template" several times.
