yeah. that note was for Anton.
I have placed apply-templates under xsl:template:

  <xsl:template match="Documents">

   <xsl:apply-templates select="*[@filter=$filter]"/>

I am awared of that, but Anton wrote select="'food'", which generated in 
error.
The reason I made space in my example is to make clear that Anton used 
Apostrpphes inside the quotes. "''"

Anyhow, after I corrected to select="food" the result is the same.
No output. Notice original XML input file,

<Documents>
  <Document chapter="1" title="title 1" href="file1.xml" filter="">
        <Article title="1.1" info="sub" filter="food"/>
        <Article title="1.2" info="main" filter="drink"/>
   </Document>
  <Document chapter="2" title="title 2" href="file2.xml" filter="food">
        <Article title="2.1" info="sub" filter="drink"/>
        <Article title="2.2" info="main" filter="food"/>
   </Document>
</Documents>


The second Document node should generate in output XML file anyhow.
But it's not for some reason.

Any ideas ?
