You could store every template defined above except the first one in a file called utils.xsl and use it. Hope this helps Vasu

Hello,

Given the following:

=========== xml source ==========
<poem>
  <hey_diddle>
	Hey diddle diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
	The cow jumped over the moon,
	The little dog laughed to see such sport,
	And the dish ran away with the spoon.
  </hey_diddle>
</poem>
=========== /xml source ==========

How do I count how many words are contained within the node <hey_diddle/>?

Karl
