Roger,

I'm currently working on a project which involves a complex tree-like hierarchy of XML files. As it happens, this hierarchy can be represented by a single file written in OPML (see here: http://www.opml.org/ ) which can be displayed by the right sort of outliner. I'm currently using Python and the 4suite tools to compress the hierarchy into one file. Are there similar mechanisms in XSLT?

For sure (if I read you right). XSLT does the tree-walking part under its own power, and the document() function would give you access to the other files. You could just use xsl:copy-of on the node sets it returns, introducing whatever wrapper elements you needed (or copying them from the OPML) to preserve the hierarchy. The stylesheet could be quite small (maybe as little as two or three templates).

Cheers,
Wendell
