Dear friends, I wonder if I am trying to do the same thing. What has come to my mind as a possibility is: <xsl:variable name="try-this" select="${@LINK}"/> <xsl:copy-of select="$try-this"/> or <xsl:copy-of select="${@LINK}"/> The nodes all have the same name element, but the attribute value is different. That same value matches the variable names of an xsl:include document. The end result is the node that is called by the template is matched to an array. When the array match is found, then the value of the attribute of that node in the array is then taken for the variable name. This attribute value which is now a variable is then called up to replace the node called by the template. <my:array LINK="n3">see also Shall we dance in the King and I *root* RODGERS1</my:array> <my:array LINK="n4">see Climb every mountain in the Sound of Musis *root* RODGERS2</my:array> <xsl:variable name="n3">see <EMPH RENDER="quoted">Climb every mountain</EMPH> in SHOW MUSIC : Manuscripts</xsl:variable> <xsl:variable name="n3">see also <EMPH RENDER="quoted">Shall we dance</EMPH> in the King and I in SHOW MUSIC : Full scores</xsl:variable> The result is that I can have many cross-reference nodes in my document, but a prepared list of i) exact unique occurances in my array and ii) a list of pre-formatted replacements. At the same time I can create the ref numbers for each cross-ref in the document. Of course saxon rejects my syntax, but how would I write it if I were to do this? I will definitely check out the extension function Michael mentioned in the mean time. Needing a little help, Mike F. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Try FREE Yahoo!
