RE: How to process a list of files

Hi,

With the given reference of http://dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N5167.html there
is <xt:document method="html" href="sect{$docnumber}.html"> which generates
the output files as sect1.html, sect2.html and so on.

I have one query! How to get filename.html instead of sect1.html in my case.

Thanks,
shailesh

Hmmmmm, yes, I can see that this is what you actually where asking for.

Multiple input to multiple output (N inputs to N outputs) I usually
make in the programme, that calls the transformation.

I would usually load the ini-file (the one with the names of the input
documents) into a separete document, then iterate over each node,
using - in my case - the C# language for this. For each of these
files, I would then make a transformation.

A more elaborate scheme would be to process the ini-file using XSL and
use the document function, and for each of those create a variable
holding the root of the document (or create a variable holding the
root of each document), then process these. This, I think, is what you
are trying to do. The problem is with this approach, is that
multiple-document output is not inherently possible using XSLT 1.0. I
think there are extension functions - depending on the parser in
question - that can do this, but it is not included in the language
per se.

I think a search google search for "multiple output files" +"XSLT".
You can perhaps get some inclination of a solution from dpawsons site:

I hope this helps.
