If you are using an processor that supports exsl:node-set and math:max.
Many do. See http://exslt.org for details.

| Hello,

| I've got the following problem:
|
| I've got an index xml file that refers to some other xml files like that:
|
| <!-- index file -->
| <index>
| 	<entry><xml>X1</xml>...</entry>
| 	<entry><xml>X2</xml>...</entry>
| 	<entry><xml>X3</xml>...</entry>
| 	... <!-- and others -->
| </index>
|
| <!-- X1.xml -->
| <entry>
| 	<item number="3" />
| 	...
| </entry>
|
| <!-- X2.xml -->
| <entry>
| 	<item number="7" />
| 	...
| </entry>
|
| <!-- X3.xml -->
| <entry>
| 	<item number="2" />
| 	...
| </entry>
|
| The XSL file I have, belongs to the index file.
|
| In the xsl file I can get each value of the attribute number like this:
| <xsl:for-each select="index/entry">
| 	<xsl:variable name="vXML"><xsl:value-of select="xml"
/>.xml</xsl:variable>
| 	<xsl:variable name="vNumber"
select="document($vXML)/entry/item/@number" />
| </xsl:for-each>
|
| But my problem is, that I want to find the maximum of the attribute
number / the
| variable vNumber!
| This value should become a global variable.
|
| Does anyone has an idea?!
|
| Thanks
