Serg, >Is it possible to write XML and XSL stylesheet not in different files >but in one? This is covered in the XSLT Recommendation at http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-Embedding-Stylesheets. You can embed a stylesheet within an XML document, but you still need to use the xml-stylesheet processing instruction to *use* it for that document. Here is a skeletal XML document with an embedded stylesheet that you can expand: <?xml version="1.0"?> <?xml-stylesheet type="text/xml" href="#stylesheet"?> <!DOCTYPE doc [ <!ATTLIST xsl:stylesheet id ID #REQUIRED> ]> <doc> <xsl:stylesheet id="stylesheet" version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <!-- any xsl:import elements --> <xsl:template match="xsl:stylesheet" /> <!-- rest of your stylesheet --> </xsl:stylesheet> <!-- rest of your XML document --> </doc> There are two things particularly of note. Firstly, you have to have a DTD that defines the xsl:stylesheet element as having an 'id' attribute of type ID - otherwise the 'href' pseudo-attribute in the xml-stylesheet processing instruction won't be able to find the stylesheet. Secondly, you should almost certainly have a template matching xsl:stylesheet that does nothing so that the stylesheet is ignored when it runs - otherwise it will try to run on itself.
