Re: [xsl] combining multiple documents

[Steven Ericsson-Zenith <steven@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Andrew but that doesn't help me. I'm using 2.0.

Here is my test/use case, I have three files test.xml is the  
transformed document, include.xml is the included document and  
text.xsl is the XSL.

test.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>
<document
   file="include.xml">
   <extra type="introduction"><p>barfoo</p></extra>
</document>

include.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="test.xsl"?>

<document>
   <p> foobar </p>
</document>

test.xsl:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
   xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";
   version="2.0">

   <xsl:key
       match="extra"
       name="extra"
       use="@type"/>

   <xsl:template
       match="extra"/>
   <xsl:template
       match="p">
       <p>
           <xsl:apply-templates/>
       </p>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template
       match="/document">
       <xsl:choose>
           <xsl:when
               test="@file">
               <!-- This works because the extra is in scope -->
               <xsl:for-each
                   select="key('extra','introduction')">
                   <xsl:apply-templates
                       select="child::node()"/>
               </xsl:for-each>
               <xsl:apply-templates
                   select="doc(@file)"/>
           </xsl:when>
           <xsl:otherwise>
               <!-- But actually we wanted to pass the extra for use  
here in the second instance of "document" -->
               <xsl:for-each
                   select="key('extra','introduction')">
                   <xsl:apply-templates
                       select="child::node()"/>
               </xsl:for-each>
               <xsl:apply-templates/>
           </xsl:otherwise>
       </xsl:choose>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Your help appreciated.

Sincerely,
Steven
