I am developing an application were I need to transform XML documents that look like this:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<!DOCTYPE words SYSTEM "words.dtd">
<words>
<word id="word_1">Alfa</word>
<word id="word_2">Beta</word>
<word id="word_3">Gamma</word>
<word id="word_4">Delta</word>
<word id="word_5">Zeta</word>
</words>

Using a XSLT stylesheet. I would like the result of the transformation to be (in this case) Delta and this is the XSL I am using:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform">

<xsl:param name="Hurrengo_Hitza">word_4</xsl:param>
    <xsl:template match="word/[@id = Hurrengo_Hitza]">
  <html>
  <body>
    <tr>
      <td><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></td>
    </tr>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

It shows no result, what do I have to change in the XSLT? Something wrong in the XPath expression?

    The param in XSLT needs to be preceded by a dolar sign ($)

    So try:

    <xsl:template match="word[@id = $Hurrengo_Hitza]">

    UPDATE:

    I think you are only allowed variables on the match attribute on XSLT 2.

    But here is how you could do it:

    <xsl:param name="Hurrengo_Hitza" select="'word_4'" />

<xsl:template match="/">
        <xsl:for-each select="//word[@id = $Hurrengo_Hitza]">
          <html>
          <body>
            <tr>
              <td><xsl:value-of select="text()"/></td>
            </tr>
          </body>
          </html>
        </xsl:for-each>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
