Alan, > but how to take the root nodes from several of these document( ) > calls and put them under the root node of my original XML document? I'd take it in two steps. The first is the pre-processing, that parses the PIs and copies your source XML, but with the PIs substituted for the contents of the relevant documents. For example: <xsl:template match="*"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:copy-of select="@*" /> <xsl:apply-templates /> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="processing-instruction('fub-process')"> <!-- identify the file from the content of the PI --> <xsl:variable name="file" select="substring-after(substring-after(., ':'), ':')" /> <!-- copy the content of the file (the document element) into the output --> <xsl:copy-of select="document(concat($file, '.xml'))/*" /> </xsl:template> The second step involves applying your production stylesheet to the result of applying the pre-processing stylesheet. > And then apply the XSL file that would normally be applied in the > online environment? There may be a processor-specific way of chaining stylesheets together within Xalan, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with it to be able to tell you. You could create a batch file that ran the two transformations one after the other. Alternatively, if you don't mind using the node-set extension function, you could effectively chain the two transformations together with that. Let us know if you need any more guidance or a description of one of the options above. I hope that helps, Jeni --- Jeni Tennison http://www.jenitennison.com/ XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
