Re: How to transform multiple XML docs with XSLT 2.0 i

Hi Martin,

Yes, you are right. I will use this method to load additional
documents to carry out transformation.

Thank you again,

Jack

does line 21 do especially the concat() function and which document is it
reading from? Is it index.xml? Does it mean that lines 8 - 23 all uses the
same document as a result from this line? Likewise, where in this stylesheet
that references the secondary source index.xml?

appears to retrieve content of various nodes in the primary source (either
geneva.xml orlondon.xml). Exactly which one of them is the primary source
document? Or is it able to lookup both at the same time?

document('geneva.xml')

With that stylesheet you have posted only index.xml
makes sense as the primary input document. That document contains ph:entry
elements with the name or rather prefix of other files to be loaded with the
document function (e.g. with <ph:entry>geneva</ph:entry> and
<xsl:apply-templates select="document(concat(.,'.xml'))"/> the file
"geneva.xml" is loaded and processed).
