RE: Returning a Tree


OK, I'm willing to use the extension functions, but still don't understand
how to 'return' the nodes. Everything I've tried to date either produces a 1
node result set, or a string with all node values concatenated together...

Thanks,
Darren

A variable without a select attribute contains a result tree fragment,
which in effect is a string. There is no way to assign the result of a
call-template with the select attribute... so in effect call-template
always returns a result tree fragment, never a nodeset. So there is no
standard way to do what you are trying to do. Many XSLT processors,
however, have extension functions that will convert a result tree
fragment into a nodeset.
