I've only begun to skim XML/XSL(T) and I have a question for a project
im doing.

My XML document is laid out in such a way to contain a number of
articles, and will be displayed using XSLT. My question is if it is
possible to selectivly display an article depending on some sort of
input data? Idea is to use a number of links so select what article to
display.

Am I better off constructing a separate document for each article? I'd
rather contain all in one, or include them in an container document.

Each XSLT engine has a way of passing in top-level parameters.
These can be used just like variables can to control flow, and
you can use this mechanism to include or exclude certain portions
of your XML.
See xsl:param in http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#dt-top-level and
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#element-param and
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#top-level-variables
