Re: [xsl] Transforming multiple XML files into one file

David,

Sorry for not being clearer about this in the beginning. What I have  
is several separate XML files. We'll call them file1.xml, file2.xml,  
and file3.xml. What I want to do is take the <story> element from  
each one of those files and generate one big xml file on output that  
combines those elements. How would I do something like that?

not sure what you mean but if you have  a file
<files>
 <z>one.xml</z>
 <z>two.xml</z>
 <z>three.xml</z>
</files>

and go



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



then $files is a node set of three document nodes representing one.xml
two.xml and three.xml and you can apply
templates to all three at once with
<xsl:apply-templates select="$files"/>
or extract elements from all three documents with
xsl:for-each select="$files/some/path/to/here"
