This would never happen if the type of the variable is declared as a
manner of a systematic habbit:
<xsl:variable name="defs" as="element()*"> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/glossary-1.1.1.xml')//tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-1-glossary.xml')// tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-2-glossary.xml')// tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-3-glossary.xml')// tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-4-glossary.xml')// tr"/> </xsl:variable>
Even more, there is no need to copy all these nodes. One can just
reference them, even in XSLT 1.0 (just omit the "as" attribute):
 <xsl:variable name="defs" as="element()*" select =
   "
   document('lsb/content/glossary-1.1.1.xml')//tr
|
  document('lsb/content/modules-1-glossary.xml')//tr
|
  document('lsb/content/modules-2-glossary.xml')//tr
|
  document('lsb/content/modules-3-glossary.xml')//tr
|
  document('lsb/content/modules-4-glossary.xml')//tr
  "
 />

Sweet!

ufff... nevermind. I needed to do:

Hi, (using saxon9)

I have a few pages that each contain a table of definitions. The tables look like (they do not have a namespace):
<table border="0" cellspacing="0">
   <tr>
      <td>
         <p>absenteeism</p>
      </td>
      <td>
         <p>frequent or habitual absence from school</p>
      </td>
   </tr>
....
Can I gather up all of the TR elements, like my defs variable below (or some other way) and apply-templates on them (while sorting)? The stylesheet below causes an error "Too many nested apply-templates calls. The stylesheet may be looping." at the <xsl:apply-templates select="$defs">

What am I doing wrong here?
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
version="2.0">
<xsl:variable name="defs"> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/glossary-1.1.1.xml')//tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-1-glossary.xml')// tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-2-glossary.xml')// tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-3-glossary.xml')// tr"/> <xsl:copy-of select="doc('lsb/content/modules-4-glossary.xml')// tr"/> </xsl:variable>
<xsl:template match="/">
 <glossentries>
   <xsl:apply-templates select="$defs">
     <xsl:sort select="normalize-space(td[1]/p/text())"/>
   </xsl:apply-templates>
 </glossentries>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="tr"> <xsl:variable name="term" select="normalize-space(td[1]/p/ text())"/> <xsl:variable name="file-name" select="translate($term, ' ', '-')"/> <glossentry file-name="{$file-name}"> <term> <xsl:value-of select="$term"/> </term> <definition> <xsl:copy-of select="td[2]/*"/> </definition> </glossentry> </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
