Thank you Norman, but you haven't got my point; In message <646-Fri25Feb2000082143-0500-ndw@xxxxxxxxxx>you write: >/ Ralf Kempkens <kempkens@xxxxxxxxxxx> was heard to say: >| In xsl, the id()-function automatically returns a nodeset, but in DSSSL ther >e >| is only 'process-element-by-id' which returns a single node. > >FWIW, if id() returns more than one node, you don't have a valid XML >document. (It's well-formed, but not valid; IDs are required to be >unique.) Look at section 4.1 of the XPath-Spec. You can use the id()-function to resolve multiple references (seperated by space), thus id("id1 id3 id5") returns a nodeset with the three nodes having id1, id3, and id5 as their id's. > >| (e.g. <node id="id7" references="id1 id2 id4 id9">...</node>) >| >| Does anybody out there have a function handy, that will return the right >| nodeset? > >(element-with-id 'value') will return the element that has ID 'value'. That's just the problem. I want to support multiple references. So I need a scheme function that breaks up a string into a list, using space as separator. But my Scheme knowledge doesn't go that far.
