xsl:param (global)

Global parameters are defined on the stylesheet level.

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">
  <xsl:para name="param1" select="'default-string'"/>
</xsl:stylesheet>
					

Global parameters can have a default value, specified by the select statement.

Global Parameters can be used to pass values from external applications to the stylesheet.
