Ora viva, i sempre bom encontrar um compatriota :)

I'm not one of the lists experts, there are many people here who
really excels in this area, making this one of the most useful lists
i've seen. But i can point some obvious things.

First, there are no "tags" in XSL, XSL works on "nodes" not on "tags".
So you work by selecting nodes, apllying temnplates on then, etc...

Second your var

>      <xsl:template match="ObjectFormat">
>           <xsl:variable name="FileExtention"><xsl:value-of
select="@FileExtention"/></xsl:variable>
>      </xsl:template>
>

exist only inside the template where you define it, so you can't use
it anywhere else. You'll have to define it  at the root level you want
it to be global. But it's not clear what you're trying to do, you
should post more info, along with examples of your XML . That template
like it is does nothing...

Fica bem...
