Seems odd? There's a danger Saxon will optimize it out if you use it in a context where the result of the function (which is the same as the input) isn't used. So a safer usage is: > <xsl:for-each select="collection(concat($xmlDir, '?select=*.xml'))"> <xsl:for-each select="saxon:discard-document(.)"> > <xsl:result-document href="{$outputDir}/{$fileName}.html"> > ... > </xsl:result-document> > </xsl:for-each> > </xsl:for-each> or you could tag it on to the outer for-each: <xsl:for-each select="collection(concat($xmlDir, '?select=*.xml'))/saxon:discard-document(.)"> > > -Is it possible to continue the processing should one of the > source files > contain an error (say a parse error)? > Yes, there's a query parameter ?select=*.xml;on-error=ignore|warning|fail (In fact, ignore isn't totally working yet: XML parser errors are reported even if they are then ignored) Michael Kay http://www.saxonica.com/
