You could do that with a named template:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:output method="html"/>
	<xsl:template match="page">
		<html>
			<head>

		</head>
			<body>
				<div id="header">
					<xsl:call-template name="header"/>
				</div>
				<div id="main">
					<xsl:call-template name="main"/>
				</div>
			</body>
		</html>
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template name="header">
		<!-- do stuff here -->
	</xsl:template>

	<xsl:template name="main">
		<!-- do stuff here -->
	</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

I would like the output of a xsl:template element to appear in a specific
location in stylesheet. Can i use apply-templates to match the template i
want and have it output there?

eg:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output method="html"/>

<xsl:template match="page">
	<html>
		<head>

		</head>
		<body>
			<div id="header"><xsl:apply-templates
select="header"/></div>
			<div id="main"><xsl:apply-templates
select="main"/></div>
		</body>
	</html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:transform>

This file will be included into my stylesheets and used as a base layout. I
would like the xsl:template with name="main" to output into the location
above. But im not sure if this is allowed, does select only relate an
element in the source xml document?

I hope you can see what im trying to do, Thanks :)
