RE: how to "print" xsl:element result from inside a f

...Changed all xsl:value-of to xsl:sequence (also in the how I call the
function) and also as="element()*" and it WORKS!

Thanks, you have helped me a lot. I had hard times trying to figure out this
myself, do you know any good web page/site with guides on XML and
information alike (I mean st. like this list, mulberrytech.com,
dpawson.co.uk, etc. )?

xsl:value-of prints the 'text nodes' and not elements as you want.

I think, you must declare the function to return element()* and then
do, xsl:sequence select="" instead of xs:value-of.
