RE: Large Document

Markus,

Not sure where I am supposed to look. I have the XML-SPY app, pro version.
with stylesheet designer, but did not find anything on this subject. Also
looked at the W3C spec for XSL, without success.

I realize that I have a lot to learn. Usually the best way to get started is
with an example. Failing that, I am not sure about a counterpart to Apache
that I might use. The Xalan reference might be sufficient, but am not sure
if I can be successful with that.

I can see naming issues. Maybe XSL can look in the XML file for certain
element property names (i.e., chapterheading="Chapter 1."), etc.), and I can
write code that maps section names to file names? Is that how it can work?

Maybe you can point me to the best online source?

jwc

many Transformers provide an extension-function thats able to split the
output
into various files - have a look at the docs of yours;

e.g.: Xalan calls this 'redirect'
http://xml.apache.org/xalan-j/extensionslib.html#redirect
