Re: Use same xml file with different XSL stylesheets

Can someone explain to me how this method and its results vary from a
simple transform, import, or use of document()?

Yes, probably this is what would work best.

Using the processor to point to both the stylesheet and base xml document
and then create the html, without creating the file with
"<?xml-stylesheet?>"

The other solution was to create base_01.xml and base_02.xml with a
container inside that point to the base xml file and then use the stylesheet
to load it, using document();

Something like:

--base_01.xml--
<?xml-stylesheet ....?>
<foo>
  <file value="base.xml" />
  ...
</foo>
----------------------

--stylesheet.xsl--
for-each foo/file
   PROCESS FILE WITH document(@value)/...
/for-each
-----------------------

Thanks
