Subject: RE: [xsl] key based on items across several documents From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 19 Oct 2008 23:29:59 +0100 |
This can't be done, I'm afraid. The result of calling key() will only contain nodes in the same document as the context node or (in XSLT 2.0 with the 3-argument form of the function) in the subtree rooted at the node supplied as the third argument. Yes, your match pattern is invalid too, both in 1.0 and 2.0, but that's not the essence of the problem.
