Re: [xsl] [XSL] unparsed-text with relative URI's

[Calvados Boulard <calvados.boulard@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Michael, using resolve-uri($regpit, base-uri(/)) did the trick.

By relative document, I meant to say a document that was in a location
relative to the document being transformed. i.e.
../../directory/file.xml

Thanks again.
