More questions related to the stylesheet parameters and using a config file.

I know how to start a style sheet with a new document using the document() function, but how do you get back to the document that was feed in on the command line?

value? Is there some other way to open the "original" source document?

You can assign the input document to a variable or use the Saxon system-id() extension function to capture the system ID, e.g.:


<xsl:stylesheet>
  ..
<xsl:variable name="orig_doc" select="/"/>
<xsl:variable name="orig_doc_system_id" select="saxon:system-id()"/>

Cheers,
