As you might imagine, this is > very time consuming. I'm not sure what you are trying to do. It would be helpful to see the DTD, a small sample instance and a description of the end result you are trying to achieve (I don't know what the <a> or the <page-number> elements represent). This sort of processing is often done using modes in DSSSL. If you are using ID/IDREF to link elements you can use a mode together with (process-element-with-id ...) to process a referenced element. -dan -- Daniel Speck e-mail: dspeck@xxxxxxxxxxxx Systems Engineer voice: +1 301.548.7818 Thomson Technology Services Group fax: +1 301.527.4094 1375 Piccard Drive, Rockville, MD 20850 WWW: www.thomtech.com DSSSList info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/dsssl/dssslist
