Ok, let's say you have a file of: ----- <?xml version="1.0"?> <foo> <bar> <blort> <p id="c1001"><body wit="A B C">This is a <app><rdg wit="A B">test</rdg><rdg wit="C">really big test</rdg></app> but only a test!</body></p> <p id="c1002"><body wit="A B C">This is a <app><rdg wit="A B">test</rdg><rdg wit="C">really big test</rdg></app> but only a test!</body></p> <p id="c1003"><body wit="A B C">This is a <app><rdg wit="A B">test</rdg><rdg wit="C">really big <add> place="supra">test</add></rdg></app> but only a test!</body></p> ... <p id="c9205"><body wit="A B C">This is a <app><rdg wit="A B">test</rdg><rdg wit="C">really <gap/>test</rdg></app> but only a test!</body></p> </blort> </bar> </foo> ----- What is the most efficient/quickest way of grabing a copy-of a particular <p> (and children) by its @id? Is it best to do something like: ----- <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:copy-of select="id($id)"/> </xsl:template <!-- and another empty template matching anything you don't want to display --> ----- or is there a quicker way? Is key() quicker? The @id is in reality declared as type ID, so seems reasonable to use that. (This is for a quite large (well 2.5meg), file, which admittedly would probably be better just burst out into seperate files for each <p> element in this example.) Any suggestions appreciated. -James --- Dr James Cummings, James.Cummings@xxxxxxxxx, http://www.uea.ac.uk/~q503 Cursus Project, School of Music, University of East Anglia, Norwich, Norfolk, NR4 7TJ, UK Tel:(01603)593-595 XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
