Ok a slightly larger challenge.
I have an xml file that list xml docs in it.
I want to merge the xml docs to produce the earlier results.

How do I combine what you have shown me with the below to make it work. I
have not been successful.

My filelist doc.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<files>
	<pagefile>home.xml</pagefile>
	<listfiles>lista.xml</listfiles>
	<listfiles>listb.xml</listfiles>
</files>

My merge.xsl
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
	<xsl:output method="xml" encoding="iso-8859-1" indent="yes"/>
	<xsl:param name="required-lang" select="es-ES"/>
	<xsl:template match="/">
		<iThink.ePulp>
			<xsl:for-each select="files/listfiles">
				<xsl:variable name="file"
select="document(text())"/>
				<xsl:copy-of
select="$file/iThink.ePulp/child::*"/>
			</xsl:for-each>
			<xsl:apply-templates/>
		</iThink.ePulp>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="files">
		<here>
			<xsl:for-each select="files/listfiles">
				<xsl:variable name="file"
select="document(text())"/>
				<xsl:copy-of select="$file/*"/>
			</xsl:for-each>
		</here>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="*[@lang='es-ES']">
		<xsl:apply-templates/>
	</xsl:template>
	<xsl:template match="node()">
		<xsl:if test="not(@lang) or (@lang=$required-lang)">
			<xsl:copy>
				<xsl:copy-of select="@*"/>
				<xsl:apply-templates/>
			</xsl:copy>
		</xsl:if>
	</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

ah in an ideal world you would just change my template

<xsl:template  match="*[@lang='es-ES']"/>


to say


<xsl:template  match="*[not(@lang=$required-lang)]"/>

and pass required-lang="the queens english"
into the processor.
that would work in xslt2 drafts but unfortunately they banned the use of
variables on match patterns in xslt1 so you can't do that.

So you have to modify the main template not just add another, so now you
only need one template:


<xsl:template match="node()">
<xsl:if test="not(@lang) or (@lang=$required-lang)">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:copy-of select="@*/>
<xsl:apply-templates/>
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
