Re: How to use document() of doc() function with copy

Cheers,

Your problem seems to be very simple:

<xsl:value-of select="document($input-file)" />

The xsl:value-of instruction writes a text node whose value is the
string-value of the input. The string value of a document node is the
concatenation of all its text, with no hierarchic structure. You probably
want xsl:copy-of or xsl:sequence.

Note also: XSLT 2.0 does allow you to run a stylesheet with no principal
input document. Just specify a named template as the entry point. If using
the Saxon command line you do this with the "it" option, e.g. "-it main".
