Re: Re: external programlistings


/ Dave Makower <davemak@iclick.com> was heard to say:
| If I remember correctly, however, having an XSL stylesheet include 
| the contents of another document inside the result tree is not a 
| standard feature of XSL (it may be supported by XT).  If the 
| stylesheet did include the external document, it would need to escape 
| it into well-formed XML on the way in.

The XSLT document() function allows you to include external documents
in XSLT in a standard way, but that only works if you're including
external XML documents. There's no standard way (in XSLT 1.0, it's
on the requirements list for 2.0 :-) to include a plain text document.

                                        Be seeing you,
