Hi Claude, Claude said: Ok, then, as I said to Didier, it appears that this is similar to the append in the relational system plus the notion of order per the point of inclusion. Am I mistaken that the order of the information is preserved, that is BCB includes in AA(include)AA to produce AABCBAA ? Didier replies: Unless I am doing a mistake, yes the structure of the included fragment is intact. This is in contrast to the document() XSLT function which returns a nodelist. In this last case, the structural integrity of the source fragment is not necessarily preserved. But this is not the case with the xinclude processing which preserves the structural integrity of the included document's fragment. Transformation is thus a processing occurring at posteriori to inclusion. Cheers Didier PH Martin ---------------------------------------------- Email: martind@n...
