Just trying this idea out, below is an example of seperating content from presentation. the xml file contains pure content. The hdrs.xml file contains the 'labels' for the content (could be selected based on language) The xsl file presents the content, pre-pending each required one with any necessary labelling. Just for fun :-) good idea Mike B/Dan M What would make it slightly more terse (and more flexible) would be to have a named template do the call, calculating the path to root, which is then inverted by another named template which is used to access the hdrs.xml file with a 'stupid' string as default in case you've forgotten to include it. Now that would be neat ;-) main xml file <?xml version="1.0" ?> <file-list> <absolute>file://\f:\sgml\files\file1.xml</absolute> <absolute>file://\f:\sgml\files\file2.xml</absolute> </file-list> file hdrs.xml <?xml version="1.0" ?> <file-list> <absolute>File name is: </absolute> </file-list> xsl file <?xml version="1.0" ?> <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0"> <xsl:output method="xml" encoding="utf-8" indent="yes"/> <xsl:template match="file-list"> <BODY> <xsl:value-of select="document('../files/hdrs.xml',.)/file-list/absolute"/><xsl:value-of select="absolute"/> </BODY> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> output <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <BODY>File name is:file://\f:\sgml\files\file1.xml</BODY> so long as the hdrs file has enough structure to reflect sufficient seperation, it is simple enough to isolate appropriate headers. Now all my fixed text can go into a seperate header file which can be chosen by the stylesheet. Nice idea IMHO Regards DaveP XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
