I don't remember why. There are (at least) two ways to get from "(1): a stylesheet producing X" and "(2): a styleheet converting X to Y" to "(3): a stylesheet producing Y" plan a) write a stylesheet that takes (1) as input and modifies all the templates so that where they use constructions from the language X the result is a template using constructions from language Y. There is an example of a stylesheet which convers HTML generators to XHTML generators in the MathML distribution (and the archives of this list). This can get tricky if you want to spot xsl:element constructions using Xpath expressions that might dynamically evaluate to constructs in language X. (Spotting literal result elements is a lot easier) plan b) is to use a xx:node-set extension and just write stylesheet (3) like so: <xsl:import href="stylesheet1"/> <xsl:import href="stylesheet2"/> <xsl:variable name="tmp"> <xsl:apply-templates/> </xsl:variable> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates mode="convert" select="xx:node-set($tmp)"/> </xsl:template> (assuming all the templates in stylesheet 2 use the "convert" mode) David _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by Star Internet delivered through the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
