Re: [xsl] Document() function

["Jakub Maly" <jakub_maly@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

so what kind of help do you need? I can leave here some example, how I use
the document function.
We use it for multilanguage support, also I want to make a point of discuss,
if I use it right way. Next point is about performance. Could anybody
comment it?
What I mean: Every time when you access some page, it probably look thrgough
all language.xml and search for right element. I don't know how parsers
work, but if it works like I think, it's little performance consuming.

I will not include XML, because I think it is not necessary.
