RE: [xsl] multiple + empty output

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Try adding <xsl:template match="/"><xsl:apply-templates
select="//artikel"/></xsl:template>

I suspect that the processing of the content outside (or between) the
artikel elements - perhaps only whitespace - is finding its way into the
so-called principal result tree. The output file for the principal result
tree is created only if you write something to it.
