I really wonder that nobody proposed to use document(): <xsl:tepmlate match="/"> <html> <head><title>Stuff</title></head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> <xsl:copy-of select="document('std.xml')/*/left-bar-navigation"> </td> <td> <xsl:apply-templates/> </td> </tr> <tr> </td> <xsl:copy-of select="document('std.xml')/*/footer"> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> </xsl:template> You may have put the table for the general layout into the template above. The "std.xml" should be something like <root> <left-bar-navigation> <table> <tr><th>Navigation</th></tr> <tr><td><a href="link">link</a></td></tr> </table> </left-bar-navigation> <footer> ..... </footer </root> An interesting alternative may be to use a sort of HTML-template: File template.xml <html xmlns:t="your.uri/template"> <head> <title> <t:title/> </title> </head> <body> <table> <tr> <td> <table> <tr><th>Navigation</th></tr> <tr><td><a href="link">link</a></td></tr> </table> </td> <td> <t:content/> </td> </tr> <tr> </td> <!-- footer --> </td> </tr> </table> </body> </html> File your.xsl <xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="..." xmlns:t="your.uri/template"> <!-- save input doc --> <xsl:variable name="doc" select="/"/> <xsl:template match="/"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document('template.xml')" mode="template"/> </xsl:template> <!-- important: copy-through template elements --> <xsl:template match="*|@*|text()" mode="template"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="node()|@*" mode="template"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <!-- handle HTML title --> <xsl:template match="t:title" mode="template"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$doc" mode="title"/> </xsl:template> <!-- handle HTML content --> <xsl:template match="t:title" mode="template"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$doc" mode="content"/> </xsl:template> <!-- example: retrive title --> <xsl:template match="/" mode="title"> <xsl:value-of select="/document/docinfo/title"/> </xsl:template> <!-- example: usual content handling --> <xsl:template match="/" mode="content"> <xsl:apply-templates select="$doc"/> </xsl:template> <xsl:stylesheet> (not tested) HTH J.Pietschmann -- XSL-List info and archive: http://www.mulberrytech.com/xsl/xsl-list
