(XSLT 1.1 argument aside here...) According to Michael Kay's XSLT 2nd Edition Programmer's Reference: "In the draft XSLT 1.1 specification, the result tree fragment is no longer a separate data type, but is merged into the node-set data type. A tree is manipulated in the form of a node-set containing one node, the root of the tree." So it looks like you're home free to slice and dice your variable content. ~ Scott -----Original Message----- From: Wendell Piez [mailto:wapiez@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2007 9:03 AM To: xsl-list@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [xsl] iterate through nodes and determine output by node type Hi, At 01:46 AM 10/2/2007, you wrote: >About my original advice, I really don't know if XSLT 1.1 has >dropped the tedious RTF, but if they did, you can use the pipeline >technique I presented tp make your overall matching process easier. >Otherwise, just as with 1.0, you'll have to resort to node-set >extension functions (which can get heavy). IIRC, XSLT 1.1 included a node-set() function, so you still had to call a function explicitly, it's just that it wasn't an extension function. Of course, since 1.1 was never approved, node-set() never became an XSLT function. Formally speaking, XSLT 1.1 isn't any sort of "standard". It's safer to regard it as a set of extensions, which overlap in functionality with proprietary and other non-proprietary extensions (EXSLT) and which may or may not happen to have been implemented in any given XSLT engine.
