[xsl] Combining XML with XLink to produce HTML

[Christos Tsoukalas <ctsoukalas@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

My objective by combining "document1.xml" (the original XML document) 
and "document2.xml" (the XLink document) is to produce HTML code like:

-----------------------------------------------
<p align="justify">
   <a name="ct1-1">1</a>
	Please, see <a href="http://vendor1_anchor1";>link</a>
</p>
-----------------------------------------------	

where the 'href' attribute comes from the matching <plink> node of the XLink
document.
In some respect I need to add the <plink> nodes to the <ref> nodes and 
transform the output to HTML.

Thanks,

Christos
