XSLT - Own/Custom Tags (for Styling)

i want to specify own Tags like: for my XSL Files because i have many redundant Blocks for styling:

<fo:block font-weight="bold" margin-bottom="1cm" color="#424242"> ... </fo:block>

So what i want is to take this <fo:block> element and put it in an much shorter Tag, so that i dont need to write this again and again and have only one simple Tag for this.

I googled now for hours and can't find a solution or someone who say "Impossible".

I hope you can help me!

Solution

One option that is fairly close to what you want is to use an xsl:attribute-set

Example:

<xsl:attribute-set name="headline">
    <xsl:attribute name="font-weight" select="'bold'"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="margin-bottom" select="'1cm'"/>
    <xsl:attribute name="color" select="'#424242'"/>
</xsl:attribute-set>

<xsl:template match="foo">
    <fo:block xsl:use-attribute-sets="headline">...</fo:block>
</xsl:template>

Note: If you're using XSLT 1.0, you can't use select in xsl:attribute.
