   RE: [xml-dev] merging xml files

[ Lists Home | Date Index | Thread Index ]

You will find that a good place to ask XSLT coding questions is the xsl-list
at www.mulberrytech.com (practical coding problems often get ignored on this
list, especially when its members are busy discussing the meaning of life,
the universe, and everything).

You can achieve what you want with code something like:

<xsl:template match="X">
  <xsl:copy-of select="document('b.xml')//X"/>
</xsl:template>

However, that's probably not exactly right, because you haven't expressed
your requirements clearly enough.
