RE: document() revisited

Hi,

XML.com should be published today. Take a look at the Style Matters article,
you may have in this column some answers to your problem.

Cheers

To enter each listed file, do something like

<xsl:for-each select="file">
	<xsl:param name="current_file_root" select="."/>
		<xsl:for-each select="document($current_file_root)">
		<!-- do your stuff here -->
		</xsl:for-each>
</xsl:for-each>

I don't know what you mean by copying the result onto itself. Do you want
the result to be available for further processing? Then you need to store it
in a variable as a result tree fragment using copy-of and access the
variable with an extension function such as XT and Saxon have. It's not
possible in standard XSLT.
