Without more information it's very hard to tell exactly what you need. I'm not sure if this is what you need, but it sounds similar. * I have standard HTML that appears in headers and footers or in navigation in pages of the website I build with XSLT. This HTML is kept in XML syntax in separate files with known names and and locations. The HTML that should be included is wrapped by a <root> element something like this: <root> <tr> <!-- standard header info --></tr> </root> * in my XSLT, I access these standard configuration files and copy in the HTML at appropriate places in the output using the document() function. Like this: <xsl:template name="body.header"> <xsl:for-each select="document('shared/BodyHeaderConfig.xml')/root/*"><xsl:copy-of select="."/></xsl:for-each> </xsl:template> This sounds sort of like what you're talking about with the difference that you want to select different configuration files based on an attribute or element value in your source XML file. This could be done as simply as: <xsl:if test="flag='EN'"> <xsl:call-template name="body.header"> <xsl:with-param name="config-doc" select="'BodyHeaderEN.xml'"/> </xsl:call-template> </xsl:if> and the addition of a "config-doc" parameter in the templates that open the XML configuration docs and copy in their content.
