There are two ways round this: 1: the node-set() extension (available in xt, saxon, and in a different form in MSXML3). This allows you to convert a result-tree-fragment to a node-set. So you first template rule can generate an r-t-f, you can then convert this to a node-set, and apply further templates to that nodeset. 2: perform several transformations in series, using different stylesheets. You can control this from the API of your chosen XSLT processor, or in the case of Saxon, you can control it from within the stylesheet by writing e.g. <saxon:output next-in-chain="phase2.xsl"> Mike Kay XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
