RE: using xsl:with-param in apply-templates problem

David, thanks for your advice, I have change the SS accordingly, it all
seems to work apart from the param being passed:

Latest code:

<xsl:template match="file">
		<xsl:apply-templates
select="document(attribute::name)/*" mode="file">
			<xsl:with-param name="filename"
select="attribute::name"/>
		</xsl:apply-templates>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="text()" mode="file"/>
	<!-- Matches for OTN -->
	<xsl:template
match="//ATITLE|//BTITLE|//CTITLE|//DTITLE|//ETITLE|//FTITLE"
mode="file">
		<xsl:param name="filename"/>
		<title>
			<xsl:attribute name="filename">
				<xsl:value-of select="$filename"/>
			</xsl:attribute>
			<xsl:attribute name="chapID">
				<xsl:value-of
select="ancestor::*[last()]/attribute::ID"/>
			</xsl:attribute>
			...etc..
