hallo!

it must be very easy, but I don't get the function document (explained
in http://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xslt-19991116#document) to work. I'm
parsing an XML document with XSLT to write a text document and need to
'input' extern xml files. The name of the externs file comes as
attributes in of certain in the main XML file.

Could somebody send me an example or an web-address with more
explanations?

Thanks,

Rosa

<xsl:variable name="somedata"
select="document('somefile.xml')/foo/bar/blort"/>
