Yes, that's part of my problem. As you've already clarified I cannot select exactly wat I desire from the CDATA (that was the other part of the problem) thus waht remains is to save the contents of CDATA sections outside. > > > > As one of the solutions mentioned, > > if the 3 nodes containing cdata sections were > > > > <foo><![CDATA[ .....snip..... ]]></foo> > > <bar><![CDATA[ .....snip..... ]]></bar> > > <foobar><![CDATA[ .....snip..... ]]></foobar> > > > > All he needs is 3 templates and the logic to write the content out to > > individual files can be nested in those templates. > > > > As for writing to multiple files, I remember reading > > somewhere XSLT is not good at this sort of thing. > > In XSLT 2.0 you can write multiple files using xsl:result-document. it sounds interesting, I will take a look around to learn more about that tag. > However, logically you do it the same way in 1.0: you run three passes over > the input, one to produce each output file.

Well, actually this is the approach I was thinking about, but tryng to figure out how to develop such a multi-pass transformation, I got into the following problem: how can a template recognize that it has being applied multiple times and thus, how can it decide which CDATA section to process, among the three? I suppose I should at first (1) define an XPath pattern to match elements that are at the same level in the tree (the elements that contain the CDATA sections), then (2) I would have to implement a kind of recursive template call mechanism. Sounds it correct? Have you any ideas about the two points? Thanks for the help. Livio > Michael Kay > http://www.saxonica.com/
