> how can I go about producing random UUIDs, in dozens or hundreds, inside an XSLT pipeline, without extension functions in Saxon. This is actually very easy and doesn't require the use of any extension functions: *unparsed-text("https://uuidgen.org/api/v/4 <https://uuidgen.org/api/v/4>")* or if you need N of them: *for $i in 1 to $N* * return unparsed-text("https://uuidgen.org/api/v/4 <https://uuidgen.org/api/v/4>") * p HTH, Dimitre On Tue, Nov 10, 2020 at 8:36 AM Piez, Wendell A.
