Re: [xsl] Strange Problem with document($variablename)

[Stan Devitt <jsdevitt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm somewhat curious why no-one has made the following observation in 
this discussion.
Is it irrelevant?

Technically, there is whitespace between the basename and the relative 
file name
in the source for

<xsl:variable name="filename">
<xsl:value-of select="'../content/news/'" />
<xsl:value-of select="@name" />
</xsl:variable>

Such white space - if it were not removed , 
might explain why the file name got truncated when 
used for file lookup.

The concat(...) solution, definitely removed the white space.
