Subject: Re: [xsl] Use of xsl:document From: David Carlisle <davidc@xxxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 22 Jun 2006 11:58:38 +0100 |
> Should I be using the xsl:document function instead? there is no _function_ called xsl:document. there is an xsl:document element (instruction). this has a different function it _generates_ a document node rather than selecting one. So the relationship between select="document(...) and <xsl:document is like teh relationship between select="abc" and <xsl:element name="abc" one selects existing nodes from input documents, the other generates new nodes. > Is there any use for the xsl:document function other than the fact it allows > validation? Not a lot as (for XSLT1 compatibility) a document node is implictly generated whenever you use xsl:variable with content (and no as attribute) so there are not many times that you need to explictly generate a document node with xsl:document.
