Re: Intercepting multiple output documents

Hi Diarmuid,

It's difficult to say without knowing what are your needs ;=)

If you want to XSL process some tree fragments which you've just
generated, you can put the stuff into a variable and convert it into a
nodeset using the brand new xt:nodeset() extension which James Clark has
added in the latest release (19991105).

Hope this helps.

Eric

PS: it's a topic we've been discussing in the XML Server forum (see
http://www.egroups.com/group/xml-server/130.html? and the next
messages).
