Hi,

I'm trying to get a variable from a macro into XSLT and output in XHTML.  The variable is 'itemsPerLine'. The macro is:

<umbraco:Macro Alias="Thumbnails" itemsPerLine="12" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>

The xslt is:

<?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" 
  exclude-result-prefixes="msxml umbraco.library Exslt.ExsltCommon Exslt.ExsltDatesAndTimes Exslt.ExsltMath Exslt.ExsltRegularExpressions Exslt.ExsltStrings Exslt.ExsltSets ">


<xsl:output method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>
    <!-- Input the repeatable custom contents property alias here -->

                            </xsl:element>
                      </xsl:if>
                       <h2>

                        </h2>
                       <p><xsl:value-of select="./data [@alias = 'thumbnailText']" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></p>
                 </div>
              </div>
          </xsl:for-each>
         <!-- Live Editing support for related links. -->
            <xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:Item($currentPage/@id,$propertyAlias,'')" />
      </xsl:if>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Can anyone see why this value doesn't output?

Thanks all.
