Use XSLT's document() function[1]: <xsl:apply-templates
select="document('whatever')" />

For future reference, please send XSLT-related questions to the XSL-List[2].

Subject: Dumb XSLT question


Hi All,

I'm trying to figure out how I can read an additional XML file from an XSLT
transform. Basically, I am converting from one XML doc to HTML in my
transform, but I have some global values in another XML document that I
would like to include in the HTML output. >From within my transform, can I
specify a separate XML document to parse? Maybe do an <xsl:apply-templates
select="other doc:whatever" /> ? My understanding is that XPointer allows
this, but my XSLT engine does not support that. Any other suggestions? Am I
missing something simple?

I realize that I can write an app to do this, but I'm trying to do it in a
single XSLT.

Thanks,
