Re: TRANSFORM WITH SOME XML

Hi Yolanda,

I get the digest version of the list, so this may already have been
answered, but in case it has not, this is how to use one XSL file to process
data from multiple XML files: use the document() function.

For example:
File.xml contains the root level element <elem>. In your XSL, you can
retrieve the value of the <elem> element like this:

<xsl:value-of select="document('file1.xml')/elem">

You can specify relative directory paths to the file, but don't confuse
physical paths on the machine with virtual directory paths. I did that
recently and wasted several hours not understanding why the document()
function wouldn't work.
