When creating the xsl:stylesheet element that is the
stylesheet parameter to xdmp:xslt-eval, keep in mind that
it has to first be parsed by XQuery before
it is evaluated as a stylesheet. Therefore, any characters in the stylesheet
that require escaping in XQuery must be escaped, otherwise you get an error
in the XQuery. For example, if the stylesheet has any curly braces
( { or } ), you must escape the curly braces (with curly braces). For
an example, see the example below.
When running an XSLT stylesheet in MarkLogic, you pass in a node on which the stylesheet operates. Many stylesheets are written to expect the initial node to be a document node. In other XSLT processors, the node you pass to the stylesheet is typically read in from the filesystem and is always treated as a document node. In MarkLogic, you often get the node to pass to the stylesheet as the result of a query or a search, and the node is not necessarily a document node. Therefore, if your stylesheet expects the context node to be a document node, make sure to pass in a document node and not an element node. If you pass in an element node to a stylesheet that has default template rules to expect a document node, then you might miss the processing on the element you passed in (because the stylesheet might expect the child node to be the root element of the XML document, but if you passed in the root element instead of its parent document node, then the child nodes would be the children of the root element, causing the root element to miss its default processing).
