Subject: sub-documents with their own stylesheets From: Ken MacLeod <ken@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: 18 Jul 2000 14:33:08 -0500 |
newbie alert! I'm just starting into XSL. In researching this problem I've looked at the tutorials listed on the W3C page and in the XSL FAQ, read through the examples in the FAQ surrounding document(), and talked with one XSL guru (thanks Eric!). The question is: can I use XSL alone to take two XML docs, each with their own stylesheet, and merge them in to one output document. A concrete example: I want to create an XHTML page with two areas from the two seperate XML docs: +-------------+ | TOP | | +---+ +---+ | | | A | | B | | | +---+ +---+ | +-------------+ A.xml has A.xsl, B.xml has B.xsl. Both transform well standalone and I _could_ use an external tool to insert them into TOP.xhtml. What I want to do, though, is create a TOP.xsl that can replace placeholder elements in TOP.xhtml with content from A and B transformed by their respective stylesheets. Two possible solutions (thanks Eric!), as long as I have complete control over all the schemas and stylesheets, are: 1) use unique namespaces, xsl:include, document(), and just apply all the styling in one swell foop. 2) do roughly the same, but using "mode" Both of these require a lot more control and hand-holding in the stylesheets than I'd prefer, and would make reusing other's stylesheets somewhat more difficult. Is this something I can do directly within XSL, or should I go ahead and merge them externally? Thanks, -- Ken XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
