Subject: RE: [xsl] XSLT collection function to get filenames From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 18 Mar 2008 13:58:45 -0000 |
The collection() function is defined to return nodes, so it's not directly suitable for unparsed text (or binary) files. With the Saxon implementation, however, you could if you wanted write a CollectionURIResolver that reads unparsed text files and wraps the text in a document node before returning it.
