RE: [xsl] Referencing Multiple Documents in One Folder -- Repost

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If the directory is called "c:\XML files", then you should use

collection('file:///c:/XML%20files')

(It might work without escaping the space as %20, I'm not sure)

If you use a relative URI, then it will be taken as relative to the URI of
the stylesheet.
