Hi,

I noticed that your XSLT template doesn't contain any HTML markup.  

Please add some html to your template

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
        version="1.0" 
        xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" 
        xmlns:msxml="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:xslt"
        xmlns:umbraco.library="urn:umbraco.library" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltCommon="urn:Exslt.ExsltCommon" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes="urn:Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltMath="urn:Exslt.ExsltMath" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions="urn:Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltStrings="urn:Exslt.ExsltStrings" xmlns:Exslt.ExsltSets="urn:Exslt.ExsltSets" xmlns:tagsLib="urn:tagsLib" 
        exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets tagsLib ">
<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<xsl:variable name="imageUrl" select="/macro/imageUrl"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
   <xsl:value-of select="$currentPage/@id"/>
   <xsl:value-of select="$imageUrl"/>

    <strong>Hello world!</strong>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

2) if you want to see visualized content of macros in rich text editor you should set Render content in editor to True on Macro Properties Tab

Hey Ruslan 

thanks for the reply,.. i was hoping to see the value of my "imageUrl" variable non the less the currentPageID (which is always there), rendered in my browser,.. 
but it's like the XSLT macro is never run,.. I've tryed to put HTML in it as you have proposed nothing happend )c:

I am using another XSLT to display content of this Richtext editor,.. but when i display the whole node i can see following markup displayed in my browser,..

<?UMBRACO_MACRO imageurl="image goes here" macroAlias="ImageByUrl" />, but no macro,..

  Does anybody know why it is so..

Hi,

Just copied xslt code snippet provided by you to my umbraco installation and all works as expected.

I think you should restart your umbraco installation and recreate your macros

// i was hoping to see the value of my "imageUrl" variable

Do not forgot add corresponding parameter "imageUrl" to your macros

Hi Ruslan

Thanks again,.. I've finally figured what the problem is,. (c:

when i call my "bodyText" page field(which stores data data from richtext editor) with XSLT, for some unknown reason macroes(which were embedded with richtext editor) never get rendered,.. this must be a bug of some sorts !!,.. 

XSLT: <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:RemoveFirstParagraphTag(./data[@alias = 'bodyText'])" />

when i call my "bodyText" page field with .Net it works and all is rendered correctly,.. 

.Net: <umbraco:Item field="bodyText" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>

It just sounds wired to me,..I've tried different approaches to make it work but failed )c:,  Is there a way to make macroes work with richtext editor, if they are processed with XSLT instead of .NET.   ?

Howdy Kim,.

Thanx that is just Awesome,.. that is it,.. that did the trick,..  

Glad it worked out for you.

Another approach is to use the undocumented Item-extension like this:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:Item($currentPage/@id,'bodytext')" />

I didn't think of that when I wrote my first answer. It's less code, and actually the Item-extension makes sure that you can edit the content i canvas-mode as well. That option is normally not possible when rendering the content through XSLT :)

It worked like a charm to,.. (c: thnx for sharing.
