[oXygen-user] Help with XPath -- SOLVED

[George Bina]

Dear Mary,

Yes, when you execute the XPath in oXygen the default scope is the 
current file and you have the correct map as the current file, while 
when that is executed from your XSLT stylesheet, the current file will 
not be that map anymore. As you already found, you need to use the 
document function to access that map file content.

Best Regards,
George
