Re: [xsl] two xml source documents

[Joerg Heinicke <joerg dot heinicke at gmx dot de>]

Hello Markus,

it's a really common question. I can only say, that you can access a XML 
tree / node set in the same way as the input tree or any other subtree.

For example:

<xsl:variable name="doc2" select="document('another.xml')"/>

You can access it via:

<xsl:apply-templates select="doc2/root/node"/>

You have to pay attention to the context tree, which will change in this 
case. An XPath "/root/node" would be evaluated against another.xml and 
not the input tree then. Mostly you have to switch between multiple 
files. So another variable <xsl:variable name="doc1" select="/"/> often 
helps.

For a more concrete help, you must ask a bit more concrete.

Regards,

Joerg
