RE: How to merge xml files present in folder into one

Saxon allows you to use the collection() function to access all the files in
a directory, for example

collection("file:///c:/some/dir?select=*.xml")

returns all the .xml files in the given folder.

So you can merge them like this:

<mergeddocs>
  <xsl:copy-of select="collection('file:///c:/some/dir?select=*.xml')"/>
</mergeddocs>
