I have a master XSL file that need to include/import several xsl files located in a directory 'xsl_dir'. However, I don't know in advance the number and names of xsl files. So, I basically need to do something like : <xsl:include href="xsl_dir/*.xsl"/>

I'm using XSLT2.0 with Saxon 9.3 HE.

Any idea on how I could achieve this ?

Use XSLT to create a single file of multiple <xsl:include> statements by using Saxon's implementation of collection(), and then have a single <xsl:include> in your stylesheet that includes the generated file.

I can't see a way of doing it all at compile time ... I'm sure you'll need the pre-step of creating the intermediate file of include statements. At least you won't have to change your stylesheet as the one include need never change.

I hope this helps.
