Andreas,

As others have said, there is a function you can use in XSLT 2.0 for this purpose.

In XSLT 1.0, you can wrap the text file into an XML file as a parsed general entity, and call it that way. As long as it will parse to create a text node (that is, it has to be free of unescaped < and &, and it has to be correct with respect to its character encoding), this will work. Strictly speaking, this is not an XSLT feature; you are just taking advantage of a feature in XML.

<!DOCTYPE wrapper [
<!ENTITY textfile SYSTEM "textfile.txt" >
]>
<wrapper>&textfile;</wrapper>

Cheers,
Wendell

am I right, that XSLT is unable to take any non-XML textfile as input?

The problem I am facing is, that I have to insert the contents of a
plain text file into a node within an XHTML file for a statically built
web-site. I found no way how to do it.
