Re: simple (hopefully) document function question

Hi, Cindy,

Please specify the output you want. It's a bit tough to figure out what you
actually want for output from this message.

Also, you have two input documents (the one you are matching with match="/"
and the one (or is it two?) you are reading with the document function. It
would help to see the other input document, too.

It's best to post a small but complete set of input documents, stylesheet,
and desired output document. Don't worry too much about the length of your
post (but do try to create a sample problem that shows your issue as
succinctly as possible).

I'm sure we can work out a solution to your problem, but more detail would
speed along the process.
