Hi, I have several XML input documents each representing one chapter or section (with a root element accordingly named "chapter" or "section") of a bigger structure, so they sometimes happen to be a kind of logical subdoc of the main input document that is currently processed. In a rather complex stylesheet, I'm reading the content of each of those subdoc files by using the document() function. My goal is to process that content using a template specific to "chapter" or "section". As I mentionned in a previous posting with the subject "Parameter evaluation after use of document()", I try to find the appropriate template for the document by passing its whole content, in my "subdoc_mode" mode specialized to that processing step. As I need the subdoc's name when processing it, I am also passing that parameter (a global parameter): <xsl:apply-templates select="document($my_subdoc)" mode="subdoc_mode"> <!-- hand the param to the called template --> <xsl:with-param name="my_subdoc" select="$my_subdoc"/> </xsl:apply-templates> Unfortunately, my parameter gets lost - even after passing it explicitly like this! >From Oleg Tkachenko's response to my posting I learnt that losing a parameter may be related to selecting the document's root NODE instead of its root ELEMENT - or any other element form the document -, as the built-in template matching "/" would certainly lose it, so I added that instruction. He also recommended: Oleg> Try to add some location path after document() function to eliminate Oleg> built-in templates processing as they don't pass parameters. I tried with appending "/*" to the document() instruction, but to no avail. Of course it would be possible to explicitly select "/chapter" or "/section", but I think I cannot do without a generic "apply-templates" instruction like the one above - it would thus not be possible to state the document's root element. Do you have any suggestions? Maybe on the general topic of processing subdocs? Yves XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
