Re: [xsl] external files

Mike:

	I am not sure I understand exactly what you want to do but
if you are calling an external XML fragment into another XML document
you don't have to make any changes to your XSL.

	For example the following files:

Main XML File
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="a.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE a [
<!ENTITY b SYSTEM "b.xml">
]>
<a>&b;</a>

XML Fragment

<b>
    <c>Text</c>
</b>

As long as you have <xsl:template> rules for <b>
and <c> in the XSL file it will render the XML as
if it were one file.
