depends on how you generate the variable, and if u want to use an extension
function to continue manipulating it ( node-set() function that is).

but since u didnt give me a snippet of xml that is representative, i cant
really give u an explicit example...

we would like to help,

cheers, jim fuller

My XML file is:
<ALMACEN>
<ARTICULO>
 <DESCRIPCION_CORTA>chuletas cerdo</DESCRIPCION_CORTA>
 <DESCRIPCION_LARGA>chuletas cerdo extra</DESCRIPCION_LARGA>
 <NOMBRE_FAMILIA>alimentacion</NOMBRE_FAMILIA>
 <NOMBRE_SUBFAMILIA>carnes</NOMBRE_SUBFAMILIA>
</ARTICULO>
<ARTICULO>
 <DESCRIPCION_CORTA>chuletas marrano</DESCRIPCION_CORTA>
 <DESCRIPCION_LARGA>chuletas marrano extra</DESCRIPCION_LARGA>
 <NOMBRE_FAMILIA>alimentacion</NOMBRE_FAMILIA>
 <NOMBRE_SUBFAMILIA>verduras</NOMBRE_SUBFAMILIA>
</ARTICULO>
<ALMACEN>

The variable is formed as:
<xsl:variable name="nodos" select="//ARTICULO"/>
