Re: appending to result-document

Thanks again

Yes, for producing a log like this I would recommend xsl:message. The Saxon
implementation of xsl:message allows you some control over the formatting
and destination of the messages (but only from Java, not from the command
line).

The other way to do it is to write a single result tree that contains real
output interleaved with log output, and then postprocess it (pipelining
again!) with a transformation that makes two passes over the input,
outputting first the "real output" and then the "log".

Hi

I have an xsl file which has two output formats. The first

one is .html

and the other is a named xml output.

The output I want is two files: (i) mainResult.html , (ii) Log.xml
-------------
<Results xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/">
   <Term>Log1</Term>
  <Term>Log2</Term>
</Results>
-----------------

How do I append xml tags in the log.xml file in the midst

of general

.html output ?

Appreciate all help.

Michael's response is of course spot on. I can understand your
motivation, however, as log.xml really is just that: a log. In similar
situations I've used xsl:message.

Anybody else willing to confess to having done this, or at least having
the temptation?
